    Hiya,

    Within reason, I2C should be indifferent to the clock speed. What matters is the state of the SDA when the the SCL transitions. As far as I know the only speed related issue is exceeding the maximum frequency for the I2C device, highly unlikely with the PBP functions.

    Best Regards,
    Paul

    Hi,

    No you shouldn't have any problems using the internal oscillator. It is not as precise as a crystal oscillator, but it is pretty accurate.
