Abstract :
At the moment, Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) is one of the most widely used protocols for serial data communication in embedded systems. The purpose of this paper is to show a simple solution to communicate with I2C devices using the PC´s parallel port and LabVIEW graphical programming environment. First, a low-cost 2-wire interface and an associated I2C LabVIEW library are presented. Then, a number of sample applications involving different ICs are described.
