This section details the operation of the I2C Controller application that comes with the USBee DX. The I2C Controller lets you control (be the I2C Master) an I2C device using the SDA and SCL lines of the USBee DX.
The Below you see the application screen.
To control an I2C device you must first create an I2C text script in the script window. You can either type in the window as you would a text editor or you can use the buttons on the left to quickly insert the correct tokens for the various parts of an I2C transaction.
The valid tokens are as follows:
