Hello.

I want to communicate to other device by using PSoC I2C component but I dont know how to use.

I want to put PSoC as master and the device as slave and just want to write.

Could anyone give me some easy sample code to use I2C??

Byte I2C interface is quite simple: After setting up the component and starting it you use

    I2C_MasterSendStart(DeviceAddress,I2C_WRITE_XFER_MODE);    // Initialize a transaction for writing

    I2C_MasterWriteByte(Register);                // Indicate which register you want to write to

    I2C_MasterWriteByte(Value);                // Write to register

    I2C_MasterSendStop();                    // End of transaction

When you want to read from a device you use (example for reading two bytes

    I2C_MasterSendStart(DeviceAddress,I2C_WRITE_XFER_MODE);    // Initialize a transaction for writing

    I2C_MasterWrite(Register);                // Indicate which register you want to write to

    I2C_MasterSendRestart(DeviceAddress,I2C_READ_XFER_MODE);

    I2C_MasterReadByte(I2C_ACK_DATA);            // Read from register

    I2C_MasterReadByte(I2C_NAK_DATA);            // Read from register, last byte is NAKed

    I2C_MasterSendStop();                    // End of transaction

Not too difficult. Keep in mind that most of the APIs (except those for reading a byte) return a status byte which, when non-zero indicate an error condition.

The high-level APIs must be used in this way:

Writing to slave Count bytes

I2C_MasterWriteBuf(SlaveAddress,DataPtr,Count,I2C_MODE_COMPLETE_XFER);

Reading from Slave sending register/command byte first:

I2C_MasterWriteBuf(SlaveAddress,&RegAddress,1,I2C_MODE_NO_STOP);

I2C_MasterReadBuf(SlaveAddress,DataPtr,Count,I2C_MODE_REPEAT_START);

*** Important: I2C needs two pull-up resistors (~ 2.2K) on SDA and SCL. The pins should be configured as "Open drain, drives low" and the initial drive level = High.

Sorry, I have a question.

When I put

    I2C_MasterSendStart(DeviceAddress,I2C_WRITE_XFER_MODE);    // Initialize a transaction for writing

    I2C_MasterWriteByte(Register);                // Indicate which register you want to write to

    I2C_MasterWriteByte(Value);                // Write to register

    I2C_MasterSendStop();                    // End of transaction

and build it, error comes up and that says they are undefined reference.

Is there any other thing I should do??

Can you please post your complete project or a shortened version that shows the error so that we all can have a look at all of your settings. To do so, use

Creator->File->Create Workspace Bundle (minimal)

and attach the resulting file.

Sorry I dont know how to attach it...

I attach the image instead.

For your device the API names are formed as I2C_1_I2CMasterSendStart(). Look into the component's datasheet (right click)
