    Default I2C Slave with a PIC

    Hi there,
    i tried, as mentined in an other thread before, that i try to implement
    the i2c-slave code from Robert Soubie in a PIC18F2431, but there are still
    problems in that code: Writing to the slave wokrs fine, but reading from
    the slave results in errors and sometimes senseless values on the master side.
    Did someone here use this code from Robert and could help on this problem?
    Regards,
    Ralf

    How about posting what you've done so far, this way we could check with your code?

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Hi mister_e,
    good idea:

    What i have done is using th original code from Robert Soubie posted on his website.
    I made some more remarks and checked all gaainst the MCHIP AppNote AN734, i hope i made no mistake.

    1. I initialize the i2c:

    'Initialize I2C slave mode
    SCLDIR = 1 ' SCL must be made an input before enabling interrupts
    SDADIR = 1 ' SDA must be made an input before enabling interrupts
    SSPCON = $36 ' configure for i2c 7Bit
    gosub read_12c_address ' get address from B0 - B3
    SSPSTAT = 0 ' setting some regs...
    SSPIE = 1
    SSPIF = 0
    ' PIE1 = 1 ' ?????????
    PEIE = 1
    GIE = 1
    RxBufferIndex = 0
    TxBufferIndex = 0

    2. In the main program i include the int-handler:

    On Interrupt goto int_hand
    .... main program parts ....

    '***************** INTERRUPT HANDLER ************
    Disable
    int_hand:
    include "i2c_slave_int2.inc"
    'INTCON.1 = 0
    Resume
    Enable
    '*********************************************

    3. The "i2c_slave_int.inc" you can see here (derived from Robert Soubie)

    i2cTempVAr = SSPBUF ' empty buffer
    sspov = 0
    endif

    SSPIF = 0 ' reset interrupt flag that took us here

    4. The include file "Proc_I2C.inc resolves the vars and their values:

    i2c_OutL = RxBuffer(0)
    i2c_OutH = $ff
    if RxBuffer(0) = "M" then
    i2c_OutL = var1
    i2c_OutH = "M"
    else
    if RxBuffer(0) = "I" then
    i2c_OutL = var2
    i2c_OutH = "I"
    else
    if RxBuffer(0) = "G" then
    i2c_OutL = var3
    i2c_OutH = "G"
    else
    i2c_OutH = $FF 'error unknown command
    endif
    endif
    endif

    TxBuffer(0) = i2c_outh
    TxBuffer(1) = i2c_outL

    5. The masster accesses the slave with I2CWrite and I2CRead, but sometimes the master gets errors and also the slave sets the i2c_eror bit (a variable from me in State_i2cErr).
    - The master always sends three bytes (the "id" and the two databytes).
    - The master always reads two bytes (two values form the "id "in the write operation before)
    Writing to the slave seems to work fine, but reading from the slave results in errors and sometimes senseless values on the master side.

    Hey Ralf,

    Where you able to solve the problem? I'm still working on the slave code, but I'm not able to read from the slave. I'm getting frustrated with this.

    Thanks!

    Daniel.

    Hi Daniel,
    no, i stopped working on it, it is not possible to get it work... :-(

    I solved my problem using serin/serout.
    But it would be great when we exchange our know-how, so we can solve this together!

    Here a working snipet for I2C slave communication.

    I2C write command will be received into variable array RxBuffer and RxBuffer[0] is used for the case select routine.
    I2C read command will return content of variable array TxBuffer. So before reading you have to update the array in someways. The easy way is to write a command that will update the array TxBuffer with the values you need than you read them.

    Array lenght can be changed, changing the constants "RxBufferLEN" & "TxBufferLEN"

    Slave address can be changed changing the constant "I2Caddress".

    A 20 MHz quartz is recommended.

    Add your code in the correct place and you should not have problem.

    Hello Al,

    Thank you very much for answering my message. You can't imagine how much I appreciate this working snipet for I2C slave communication.

    I will test it right away and let you know how everything went.

    Thanks a lot one more time!

    A short video:

    The master on the left, a 16F877 is telling the first 16F88 (on the top) to turn on/off the LED, and then reads 24 from it. After that, the master tells the second 16F88 (on the bottom) to turn on/off the LED, and then reads 12 from it.

    It's in slow motion because I was testing everything, but I discovered that the I2C protocol is very fast!

    Al, thanks a lot one more time!

    Daniel.

    Default Thank You!

    Daniel: Thanks to you and others in this great forum for sharing....It is so much easier to understand when you can see code that is working and is well commented.

    Thanks again to all the generous people on this forum!

    I think, this part could be written better:

    Code:
           wcol = 0                                    ' clear collision flag
           SSPBUF = TxBuffer[TxBufferIndex]
    
           While wcol 
                 wcol = 0
                 SSPBUF = TxBuffer[TxBufferIndex]
           Wend
    this is much shorter:

    Code:
           Repeat
                 wcol = 0
                 SSPBUF = TxBuffer[TxBufferIndex]
           Until !wcol
    and works, too.

    Thanks for the update! This should be a hot topic now!

    Btw, how many times I have seen this topic on the forum without any answers because: "my code that works is proprietary and I cannot share it" or worst: "RTFM!". If the only thing you have to say is that, keep it to yourself! Or, the other one I hate: "did you try the example from melabs site?" The one that everyones says it doesn't work? Yes!!!

    Thanks a lot to Al, the I2C slave routine is working great and he was kind enough to share it with all of us. You're great Sr.!

    Translation: My code does not work, but I won't admit it. At least 50% of the time <br> Anyway thanks Daniel and AL, Ralf , mister_e, Big Wumpus Something new to play with.

    If you do not believe in MAGIC, Consider how currency has value simply by printing it, and is then traded for real assets.

    Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants - but debt is the money of slaves

    There simply is no "Happy Spam" If you do it you will disappear from this forum.

    I mean it in context, sure there some very good professional coders in here, and when they say it I am sure it is true, now for a majority here, who likely are hobbyist, maybe some of which wish to make the jump with their own stellar idea, 50 / 50 is likely a generous assumption. And so what? EGO has value only to the person who owns it.<br>EDIT: Ego has value to anyone who wants to exert control over someone who has it too.

    Hi there,
    i will test the code from Aretti soon on a PIC18F2431. I want to process four ad-converters and several digital io's. The slave address of the PIC is automatically detected when pluging it on a bus-system (16 addresses).
    When it is finished and working (hope so), i will post it here.
    FYI: I2C Apps from MCHIP seems not to work, a friend of me in an other company also tried this code to implement, no chance.
    All others syaing "i can't post my working code here" must be sayed, that these people are wrong here, a forum lives from shared ideas, code snippets.... they should keep out here and keep their code for them selves.

    Regards,
    Ralf

    I will be interested in your port to the 18F series, and it sounds like you will be willing to post your code. I have an upcoming project that will need it. I tried to get Soubie's code working about a year ago with no luck.

    Charles,
    same problem, i also never got his code working.
    I come back next week, hope with a working code.

    Unhappy Still not working here

    Guys,

    I've been working this problem for nearly a year now. I've tried Soubie's code with no luck, and the code from this thread isn't working either. I'm using the 18F4620 as the master talking to an 18F2620, the little brother of the 4620 as the slave. I've RTFM to the point I can recite it, and the Errata sheets, and I've tried countless logical, and even illogical options to trying to get it working.

    The best I can get so far is the master sends the address byte and the slave accepts it when it matches its own address and ignores addresses not matching its own. When the address matches, the slave sets the Buffer Full and the Interrupt Flags, but for some reason won't send an ACK back to the master (at least that's what this thread's code [and my own polls of the master's ACK flag] are saying). I've made sure to clear all flags as the datasheet clearly directs, and still no luck. If the slave would ACK, the master would send the next byte and so on.

    I'm operating both chips on their internal crystal (8 MHz) and using the 4x PLL (= 32MHz). Before you go there, I'm already successfully talking to an I2C real-time clock chip with no problems and I'm saving data to an external I2C EEPROM regularly with no problems. The I2C network is working with the PICs at 32 MHz. I'm on the right pins; I'm using the pull external pull-up resistors...

    I've had this exact hardware working in the past when using MikroElektronika Basic, but I'm much happier in PBP. This one problem is holding up the entire project. Trying to get two 18F's to ping-pong data back and forth is a killer.

    If someone has even a bit more success than what I've had, please post it and maybe together we can chip away at this challenge.

    Well, the code provided by Al (aratti) and the one I posted works great both ways!

    I don't know what to tell you without looking at your code, but I modified the one provided by Al just a little and worked right away!

    Can you post your code? Maybe we can see something that you're not seeing.

    I'll be able to devote some time to a group project in about two weeks. I will also have another issue - I'm forced to work with 10-bit addresses.

    Default Code for 18F2620 that doesn't ACK for some reason

    Here's my slave code that's not sending back the ACK. I appologize for the "dead code" and commented out parts in advance. Maybe you'll see something I'm missing...

    One thing I learn these days is that you cannot mess with the I2C timing.
    Looking at your code, I guess those hserouts are killing the protocol.
    I'll take a closer look at everything else tomorrow.

    Try this code, I cleaned it up a lot. Slave address is 2.

    1) From the master, try to read 12 from the slave

    2) Try to send one byte (zero) to the slave and do something.

    I don't have MPASM so, it could be some small errors, check them.

    You have to set the CKP-bit even after a WRITE-operation.
    Try to disable the HSEROUT-lines.
    Maybe this command will alter the TRISC-register, which will kill the I2C-engine.
    Sometime, you should clear the OV-bit...

    I have been trying to get a 18F2620 to run as a slave. i ran across this in the ERRATA for this device.
    Code:
    43. Module: MSSP (I2C Slave)
    The MSSP module operating in I2C, 7-Bit Slave
    mode (SSPM3:SSPM0 = 0110) may not send a
    NACK bit (/ACK) in response to receiving the slave
    address loaded in SSPADD<7:1>. Addresses are
    in one of these ranges:
    • 0x00 to 0x07
    • 0x78 to 0x7F
    These addresses were reserved by Philips® Semiconductors
    in “The I2C Specification”, Version 2.1,
    released January 2000. Section 10.1 “Definition of
    bits in the first byte” defines the purposes of these
    addresses.
    This specification can be found at:
    http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/i2c
    Work around
    This version of the silicon does not respond to
    slave addresses in the ranges previously listed.
    Use either of these work arounds:
    • Change the 7-bit slave address in SSPADD to
    an address in the range of 0x08 to 0x77.
    • Use Revision B silicon. This version of silicon
    removes this issue’s addressing restrictions.
    I have gotten sporadic results for the master reading the slave in the following code.

    Still working on master to slave write
    '        if bf = 1 then

    '              datain[rxcnt] = SSPBUF
    '              rxcnt = rxcnt + 1
    '              if rxcnt = rxbufferlen then rxcnt = 0
    '           endif   
              
              
            EndIF 
        endif
    else
        dataout = SSPBUF     'dummy read
        if txcnt > 0 then
           SSPBUF = txbuffer[txoutptr]
           txoutptr = txoutptr + 1       
                  if txoutptr = txbufferlen then txoutptr = 0
           txcnt = txcnt - 1
        else
        'no byte to send
        endif       
    endif
    CKP = 1 
    @ INT_RETURN
    and the main loop. I want to send three bytes to the master. In this case "three sevens".

    Code:
    Main:
    SSPOV = 0
    WCOL = 0
         
         if txcnt < txbufferlen - 1 then
                        
                TxBuffer[txinptr] = 7
                txinptr = txinptr + 1
                if txinptr = txbufferlen then txinptr = 0
               
                txcnt = txcnt + 1
                
        endif
    
    WrData=0 
    
    
    
    goto main 
    end
    I did the same slave program in "C" and it works well.

    The Master is reading and writing to a RTC module and a bank of 4 24lc256 EEProms and a I2C Port expander with out any problems.

    It is getting close

    Take care

    Lightbulb That makes sense...

    Although the 16F guys have been having good luck with low addresses, it makes sense that the errata sheet would point out the old Phillips rule about low addresses. I haven't tried an address above $08 before... gotta go give that a shot too. I'll report back with any results, good or bad.

    Unhappy New attempts

    Today I tried changing the Master and Slave addresses to higher numbers. I tried $26, $A6, and $02 just for good measure. They all responded with the same results; the slave sees the address, matches to its own, sets the interrupt flag, sets the Buffer Full flag, loads the address byte into the SSPBUF and I can read it from there. Although I reported before that the Slave wasn't sending an ACK, I think I was wrong. When I poll the ACKSTAT in the Master, it comes back with a "0" which I thought was NO ACK, but in fact a 0 is reporting a good ACK.

    I've also switched to 18F4685 on both Master and Slave just eliminate the possiblilty of bad chips. Same results.

    I took Daniel's suggestion to try to read from the Slave instead of sending to it. The slave responds by loading the first digit in its SSPBUF but I'm not seeing it show up at the Master.

    I notice that the Slave's D_A (SSPSTAT.5 ' SSP Data not Address) is always showing "1" for DATA and never have I seen a "0" for ADDRESS. Is that OK? How would that bit get changed?

    I'll try to buy a 18F2620 this week and run a few test Hope I can get it here, I live in Argentina, it's not always easy to find those "big brothers" ...

    EDIT: I found a 18F452 laying around on the desk, will this serve the purpose???

    Default Most any 18F will do

    Daniel - I'd be happy if any 18F would work. I'm starting to think something's wrong with PBP and 18F.

    Thanks for your continued attempts to beat this problem into submission!

    I'm going to switch to 16F877A (the old standby to see if I can get them to talk - once I get that, then we'll come back here and try again!

    I played all night with a 16F88 as a master and a 16F877 as a slave (the other way around I was playing these days)...

    I can send commands to the slave (16F877) and this is working fine, but something is wrong because I cannot read from the slave.

    I mean, I can read from the slave, but I'm not getting the value I wanted. For example, I'm supposed to read 12, but I'm reading 1.

    The code is the same I'm using for the 16F88 as a slave, so, that code is working fine. This is really strange.

    PS: today is my birthday, and it's almots 7am and I need some sleep... I'll continue later in the afternoon...

    I has gone through this hell too.

    I bought a cheap LA (Po.Scope) in order to debug my code. I was looking for errors in PBP too, but at least the error was im my code (and maybe in PBP)...

    Please, post your code again.
    I use the 16F872 and 16F876 and 18F252 as I2C-slaves. They work all !!!

    Look at this page: http://www.astrosurf.com/soubie/pic_as_an_i2c_slave.htm
