Yes.  AFAIK, if the device isn't acknowedging, the slave will release the
data on the rising edge of your acknowledge clock pulse.  Have you continued
after the ack to see if you can read.write etc?

>>Yes I have continued with both a Write byte and also a Read byte  but the
output from the LC32 is always low irrespective of what I had written into
that location previously.



Are you using the I2C code included in the samples directory with HiTech?
If so, it usualy works, but there is a potential bug in the code in that it
modifies a ports TRIS bits to set the pin high/low but it does not explicity
set the pins PORT bit, which can be changed if a read-modify-write operation
is performed on the PORT when a bit is set for input.

>> Actually I'm not because as I understood from the data sheets the 24LC32
doesn't conform fully to the I2C spec - if however you think it would work
I'll swap over. What I am using at the momentis some code that I found for
the 24LC01 written by Cameron Pearce.
