Wire Interface

This document summarizes code that interfaces with an ultrasonic range finder sensor over I2C to obtain distance readings. The code initializes I2C communication, instructs the sensor to take a reading, requests the reading over I2C, and prints the reading to the serial monitor. It also includes optional code to change the I2C address of the sensor.

// I2C SRF10 or SRF08 Devantech Ultrasonic Ranger Finder

// Demonstrates use of the Wire library reading data from the


// Devantech Utrasonic Rangers SFR08 and SFR10

// Created 29 April 2006

// This example code is in the public domain.

#include <Wire.h>

void setup() {

Wire.begin(); // join i2c bus (address optional for master)

Serial.begin(9600); // start serial communication at 9600bps


}

int reading = 0;

void loop() {

// step 1: instruct sensor to read echoes

Wire.beginTransmission(112); // transmit to device #112 (0x70)

// the address specified in the datasheet is 224 (0xE0)

// but i2c addressing uses the high 7 bits so it's 112

Wire.write(byte(0x00)); // sets register pointer to the command register


(0x00)

Wire.write(byte(0x50)); // command sensor to measure in "inches" (0x50)

// use 0x51 for centimeters

// use 0x52 for ping microseconds

Wire.endTransmission(); // stop transmitting

// step 2: wait for readings to happen

delay(70); // datasheet suggests at least 65 milliseconds

// step 3: instruct sensor to return a particular echo reading

Wire.beginTransmission(112); // transmit to device #112

Wire.write(byte(0x02)); // sets register pointer to echo #1 register (0x02)

Wire.endTransmission(); // stop transmitting

// step 4: request reading from sensor

Wire.requestFrom(112, 2); // request 2 bytes from peripheral device #112


// step 5: receive reading from sensor

if (2 <= Wire.available()) { // if two bytes were received

reading = Wire.read(); // receive high byte (overwrites previous reading)

reading = reading << 8; // shift high byte to be high 8 bits

reading |= Wire.read(); // receive low byte as lower 8 bits

Serial.println(reading); // print the reading

delay(250); // wait a bit since people have to read the


output :)
