2.3.6.8.1. I2C
2.3.6.8.1.1. Description
This example demonstrates communication with the EEPROM memory on the Red Pitaya using the I2C protocol. The code below writes a message to a given address inside the EEPROM and then prints the entire content of the EEPROM.
2.3.6.8.1.3. Code - C
Note
Although the C code examples don’t require the use of the SCPI server, we have included them here to demonstrate how the same functionality can be achieved with different programming languages. Instructions on how to compile the code are here.
