I2C EEPROM example

This code demonstrates how to use the I2C master mode to read/write I2C EEPROM.

Overview

This example demonstrates basic usage of I2C driver by reading and writing from a I2C connected eeprom:

If you have a new I2C application to go (for example, read the temperature data from external sensor with I2C interface), try this as a basic template, then add your own code.

How to use example

Hardware Required

To run this example, you should have one ESP32, ESP32-S, ESP32-C or ESP32-H based development board as well as EEPROM(s). I2C bus allow use several EEPROMs, and some of the EEPROMs' address are configurable. Some are not, for which you can use 74LS138 to set different EEPROM different slave address(It is also can be used on other types of I2C slaves).

For some I2C EEPROM slaves, they have A0, A1, A2 pins for address configuration. For some I2C slaves, They don't have address configuration pins but have enable pins. For these kind of slave, you can use GPIO pins and external decoder to select which slave you are using.

Pin Assignment:

Note: The following pin assignments are used by default, you can change these in the menuconfig .

	SDA	SCL
ESP I2C Master	I2C_MASTER_SDA	I2C_MASTER_SCL
EEPROM1	SDA	SCL
EEPROMn	SDA	SCL

For the actual default value of I2C_MASTER_SDA and I2C_MASTER_SCL see Example Configuration in menuconfig.

Note: There's no need to add an external pull-up resistors for SDA/SCL pin, because the driver will enable the internal pull-up resistors.

Build and Flash

Enter idf.py -p PORT flash monitor to build, flash and monitor the project.

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
