I2C Read/Write problems

[Dispersion123]

I have tried just putting myvar instead of myvar.lowbyte and myvar.highbyte in there. So, I'm guessing I need to turn the comparators off?

ANSEL = %00000000
CMCON = %00000111

???

Any suggestions on how to get the correct device address sent ($10), and read the address $22?

You already have a LCD attached to it... why not monitor the HEX value of the WORD variable using HEX4

Not sure if the optional label jump work with I2CREAD and your external device...

If the device address is $10 then doesn't the address have to be left shifted one place?

$10 = %00010000

PBP handles the R/W bit (bit.0), so your sending out address %0001000R (Read or Write bit) and the address "seen" by the receiving device is %00001000

Remember that I2C device addresses are shifted left one place to allow for the read/write bit. You'll never (edit: never say never - there are 10 bit addressing in some devices, though this is not part of the original I2C design data) see an I2C device address over $7F, or %01111111 or DEC127.

So, I think you should be using the DEVICE ADDRESS of $20

Doesn't sounds right to me... how about most I2C EEPROM with $A0?

Sorry, I overlooked your post. Are you seeing what I'm saying?

[mister_e]

Not sure... sure i misunderstand what you said.

        addr var word
        CTL CON $A0
        addr=$F0F0

SendIt:
        I2CWRITE PORTD.6, PORTD.7,CTL,addr,[$F1F2]
        pause 50
        goto sendit

will looks like...

But yeah.. on some device, the Address can be mixed with the ControlByte. EEPROMs such as some 24C04, c08 and c16 work like that.

They call it page select (sort of)... those Px bits...

NOTE: well it's not a 24lc64screenshot but anyways.

I thought PBP handled that part for you. 'cause with a generic serial eeprom, the address is something like $a0, and that's how you address it...$a0, without the left shift, PBP handles the R/W bit.
But then again, we don't know exactly what kind of secret magic device is being addressed here...

$A0 is the LOWER 7 bit's of the address, shifted left one place. The DEVICE address being sent out and 'seen' by the reciever is %01010000, or $50. Check the specs of I2C, not just EEPROMS. The device address is specified as a 7 bit address, not 8. But since we are adding the R/W bit to the 8 bit address byte, we have to left shift the DEVICE address one place.

The confusion comes in dealing with 2 different data "specs" or "types" combined into one 8 bit Byte being send. Then suming the two values to "use" one value. That "one" value is not the device address.

You ever do this: (I know I have)
Gang 8 64KBit EEproms and use the device address (bit 4:1) by just rolling the long address over directly into the device address. It won't work. Trust me, just shift the address left once to embed the address into the device address byte.

I guess that's what I'm saying here...is that PBP handles it for us.

No. it doesn't. PBP handles the R/W bit for us. We still have to give it the correct address, formated to the device address byte. That's why you send %10100000 and the reciever "sees" %01010000 as the device address.

Now, if the receiving device specs say "send $xyz" then they have already formated the address for you. That still doesn't change the fact that the address is the upper 7 bits shifted right one place.

Ok, I'm smelling what your cooking... I'm pickin' up what you're layin' down...
(what happens if we overclock that same PIC to 50Ghz to get really fast I2C? )
