I'm not able to read the data correctly. Where is my logic wrong?

One of the greatest avoidable hardships is that of poor writing by technical authors and other hired lackies of the of the chip producers unwilling to pay for the production of decent documentation.

Thanks, I use to be one of those [I]lackies[/I] for about 10 years :eek:
We absolutely got no time to create any examples.

It is as hard for an english speaking person to understand the poor documentation written as it is for those whose first language is not english.

Sorry, I must misunderstand what "documentation" means.
All I can find are some comments that show what the could could do ...

I had more than a bit of problems with the I2C driver.
Reason enough to create a version that is a bit more robust - unfortunately not taken over in the examples (yet). I've posted links to the driver in other posts - including short descriptions on how to use it - I'm not going to reproduce that right now since there is a big chance that I'm failing to mention something.

Regards,

Rob

Are you kidding?

The text of i2ctest.c you have posted is describing #3:

And a few lines below this is shown in:

 
 /* Write SLA(W), address, SLA(R), and read one byte back. */
  I2CWriteLength = 2;
  I2CReadLength = 4;
  I2CMasterBuffer[0] = PCF8594_ADDR;
  I2CMasterBuffer[1] = 0x00;        /* address */
  I2CMasterBuffer[2] = PCF8594_ADDR | RD_BIT;
  I2CEngine();

You have to admit , in all fairness, that the standard of english and hence the logical meaning of the comments are rather poor.

I think a sufficient answer to 'are you kidding' would have been 'prey, in what world is this all obvious? .. for in mine the truth is wrapped in gobldegook'.

Not exactly very informative but it does make one feel less stupid when insulted.

Thanks Zero.

But actually discovered the problem the bit address is shifted by 1.

If I put the address 0x00 to read, he read 0x01. and so on

But the data just read is correct? Why can not I read the sign I just wrote!

Quote:

(3) If it's a I2C Write/Read with repeated start, specify the I2CWriteLength, fill the content of bytes to be written in I2CMasterBuffer, specify the I2CReadLength, after the repeated start and the device address with RD bit set, the content of the reading will be filled in I2CMasterBuffer index at I2CMasterBuffer[I2CWriteLength+2].

And a few lines below this is shown in:
