|
|
This library written in [Go programming language](https://golang.org/) intended to activate and interact with the I2C bus by reading and writing data.
|
|
|
|
Compatibility
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Tested on Raspberry Pi 1 (model B), Raspberry Pi 3 B+, Banana Pi (model M1), Orange Pi Zero, Orange Pi One.
|
|
|
|
Golang usage
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
func main() {
|
|
// Create new connection to I2C bus on 2 line with address 0x27
|
|
i2c, err := i2c.NewI2C(0x27, 2)
|
|
if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) }
|
|
// Free I2C connection on exit
|
|
defer i2c.Close()
|
|
....
|
|
// Here goes code specific for sending and reading data
|
|
// to and from device connected via I2C bus, like:
|
|
_, err := i2c.Write([]byte{0x1, 0xF3})
|
|
if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) }
|
|
....
|
|
}

Tutorial
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
My [repositories](https://github.com/d2r2?tab=repositories) contain quite a lot projects, which use i2c library as a starting point to interact with various peripheral devices and sensors for use on embedded Linux devices. All these libraries start with a standard call to open I2C-connection to specific bus line and address, than pass i2c instance to device.
|
|
|
|
In its turn, go-i2c use [go-logger](https://github.com/d2r2/go-logger) library to output debug and other notification's lines which produce all necessary levels of logging. You can manage what level of verbosity you would like to see, by adding call:
|
|
```go
|
|
// Uncomment/comment next line to suppress/increase verbosity of output
|
|
logger.ChangePackageLogLevel("i2c", logger.InfoLevel)
|
|
```
|
|
Once you put this call, it will decrease verbosity from default "Debug" up to next "Info" level, reducing the number of low-level console outputs that occur during interaction with the I2C bus. Please, find examples in corresponding I2C-driven sensors among my projects.

Troubleshooting
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
- *How to obtain fresh Golang installation to RPi device (either any RPi clone):*
|
|
If your RaspberryPI golang installation taken by default from repository is outdated, you may consider
|
|
to install actual golang manually from official Golang [site](https://golang.org/dl/). Download
|
|
tar.gz file containing armv6l in the name. Follow installation instructions.
|
|
|
|
- *How to enable I2C bus on RPi device:*
|
|
If you employ RaspberryPI, use raspi-config utility to activate i2c-bus on the OS level.
|
|
Go to "Interfacing Options" menu, to active I2C bus.
|
|
Probably you will need to reboot to load i2c kernel module.
|
|
Finally you should have device like /dev/i2c-1 present in the system.
|
|
|
|
- *How to find I2C bus allocation and device address:*
|
|
Use i2cdetect utility in format "i2cdetect -y X", where X may vary from 0 to 5 or more,
|
|
to discover address occupied by peripheral device. To install utility you should run
|
|
`apt install i2c-tools` on debian-kind system. `i2cdetect -y 1` sample output:
|
|
```
