Re: Basic question about breadboards

2011-10-23 by jstockma

Thanks, Yes, it is the I2C interface that I am trying to impliment. I do not have a specific application in mind. Right now I am at the point where I am learning C programming for the AVR on AVR Studio 5 and I am learning about the various AVR AT Mega chip's features. I am writing code to demonstrate these features and learn about them. I set the goal of writting all of the I2C software for the chips using only the Data Sheet, no borrowed code from any other sources. I have seen several I2C libraries. My code is less robust but gets the job done. It is two AVR AT Mega 8's that I am going to interface togethter. Thanks for your views.
