I also found a parallelport-I2C interface from Ingo Gerlach at http://home.welfen-netz.de/IngoGerlach/i2c_par/i2c_par.htm it is made out of three simple chips and also gives an 8 channel logic analyzer on the screen. It seems to be very useful, but unfortunately the page is not in English. /Lennart -----Original Message----- From: pic microcontroller discussion list [mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU] On Behalf Of Herbert Graf Sent: den 22 januari 2003 04:03 To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: Re: [PIC]: I2C debugging Personally I found a logic analyzer was all I needed to debug my I2C problems.

My solution was to connect the 16F877 to a 'know' good slave such as a DS1307 clock chip and started debugging from there. Mike Jones pmjones3@attbi.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lennart Sundberg" To: Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 1:24 PM Subject: [PIC]: I2C debugging Hi I have implemented an I2C routine in a 16F877 for communication to another board with a PIC. But how do I know if my I2C routine is working correct before I build up the other board. How can I do this? I have looked around on the web and found a lot of I2C test equipment but I don't want to pay a lot of money for some extra hw, that may be of little use for me in the future. Could you recommend a low cost debugger or how to test the I2C. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
