I2C

Would you provide the specific device you are targeting and the source of the code examples you are using?  There should be a literature number associated with the code examples.

Secondly, if you could post your example code, that would help as well.

Hi BrandonAzbell ,

         i'm using  PCF8574P  to interface 7 segment display  with MSP430F2274 micro controller.  i am also  using a example  program  "msp430x22x4_uscib0_i2c_02 "  from " slac123d.zib "  zib file. As per the diagram in the program i have connected the hardware.  

Hardware details:

Pullup resistors = 10k(for scl),10k(for sda) , connected with VCC of 2274 (refered  diagram in the program)

PCF8574p slave address : 0x20 ->>>  A0=A1=A2=VSS, grounded

P0 pin of PCF8574P is connected to ground, [VSS]

p1,p2,p3  pins of PCF8574P is connected to supply [VCC]

p4-p7 pins of PCF8574P is connected to 4 pins of 7 segment display , the common pin of 7 segment display is connected to supply

according to the program  if PCF8574P IC  gets  zero voltage in P0/p1/p2/P3 then one of this segment in P4/P5/P6/P7 segment must glow [ 7 segment is common anode type ].but  if  I run the program the I/O pins PCF8574 P0-P7 is getting voltage 3.35V [ VCC]

so, no 7segment is glowing??????????

can somebody provide me the reason for the problem or the proper Master( Transmit mode ) code with PCF interface .....

//
//  Description: I2C communication with a PCF8574 in read and write mode is
//  demonstrated. PCF8574 port P is configured with P0-P3 input, P4-P7. Read
//  P0-P3 input data is written back to Port P4-P7. This example uses the
//  RX ISR and generates an I2C restart condition while switching from
//  master receiver to master transmitter.
