Bindings for i2c-dev. Plays well with Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone.
$ npm install @abandonware/i2cvar i2c = require('@abandonware/i2c');
var address = 0x18;
var wire = new i2c(address, {device: '/dev/i2c-1'}); // point to your i2c address, debug provides REPL interface
wire.scan(function(err, data) {
// result contains an array of addresses
});
wire.writeByte(byte, function(err) {});
wire.writeBytes(command, [byte0, byte1], function(err) {});
wire.readByte(function(err, res) { // result is single byte })
wire.readBytes(command, length, function(err, res) {
// result contains a buffer of bytes
});
wire.on('data', function(data) {
// result for continuous stream contains data buffer, address, length, timestamp
});
wire.stream(command, length, delay); // continuous stream, delay in ms
// plain read/write
wire.write([byte0, byte1], function(err) {});
wire.read(length, function(err, res) {
// result contains a buffer of bytes
});
