Assume that you are moving towards a complex microcontroller project bundled with blinkers, beepers, and a display panel. To link a standard 16×2 LCD directly with the microcontroller, for instance ...

In the June and August 2003 issues of Linux Journal, my column covered the Linux kernel driver model, and the I2C subsystem was used as an example. This month, we discuss what the I2C subsystem does ...

VGA, DVI, and HDMI ports use Display Data Channel (DDC) to communicate with connected displays. This allows displays to be plug and play. However, DDC is based on I2C, which is used in all kinds of ...

I’ve talked about HD44780 displays before – they’ve been a mainstay of microcontroller projects for literal decades. In the modern hobbyist world, there’s an elephant in the room – the sheer variety ...

In my last column [LJ, December 2003], we discussed how I2C bus drivers and I2C algorithm drivers work. We also described how to make a tiny dummy I2C bus driver. This month, we discuss how an I2C ...
