The I2C block had limited usability as the maximum value of a byte that could be sent was 127.
The inputs of the I2C block are of type UInt32. If I send a single byte of this type over I2C or UART, it sends correctly, the problem occurs when the
ReplaceArraySubsetfunctions puts together the address of the slave I2C device and the array of bytes to be sent, this is where the capping of the value at 127 happens, I am not sure why. I tried replacing this function withInitializeArrayandBuildArray, but to no avail as the EV3 threw an error and it didn’t want to run code with these LabView functions.The solution was to change the type of the input value of the byte from UInt32 to Byte in the code of the block, after this change, values larger than 127 can be sent without any issues.
