I2C Server

I2C Server wraps Circuits.I2C reference in a GenServer, creating a separate process per I2C bus. I2C bus processes are identified with a bus name (e.g., "i2c-1"). By default, I2C bus processes are stored in Registry, but you can alternatively use :global.

Installation

Just add i2c_server to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:i2c_server, "~> 0.2"}
  ]
end

Usage

# Get a PID for the "i2c-1" bus
iex> {:ok, device1} = I2cServer.start_link(bus_name: "i2c-1", bus_address: 0x77)
#PID<0.233.0>

# Write 0xff to the register 0x8A
iex> I2cServer.write(device1, 0x8A, 0xff)
iex> I2cServer.write(device1, 0x8A, <<0xff>>)
iex> I2cServer.write(device1, <<0x8A, 0xff>>)
iex> I2cServer.write(device1, [0x8A, 0xff])
iex> I2cServer.write(device1, [0x8A, <<0xff>>])
:ok

# Read 3 bytes from the register 0xE1
iex> I2cServer.write_read(device1, 0xE1, 3)
iex> I2cServer.write_read(device1, <<0xE1>>, 3)
{:ok, <<0, 0, 0>>}

I2C bus processes will be created under I2cServer.I2cBusSupervisor dynamically.

Configuration

You can change settings in your config file such as config/config.exs file. Here is the default configuration.

config :i2c_server,
  transport_module: Circuits.I2C,
  bus_registry_module: I2cServer.BusRegistry

Registry module

The default :bus_registry_module is I2cServer.BusRegistry that is a thin wrapper of Registry. You can alternatively use :global for global registration.

config :i2c_server,
  bus_registry_module: :global

Transport module

The default :transport_module is Circuits.I2C. You will most likely use the default, but you may want to replace it with a mock for testing.

config :i2c_server,
  transport_module: MyApp.MockTransport
