Syntax

Wire.read()

Parameters

none

Returns

The next byte received

Example

#include <Wire.h> void setup ( ) {
  Wire.begin ( ) ;        // join i2c bus (address optional for master)
  Serial.begin ( 9600 ) ;  // start serial for output } void loop ( ) {
  Wire.requestFrom ( 2 , 6 ) ;    // request 6 bytes from slave device #2   while (Wire.available ( ) )    // slave may send less than requested
  {
    char c = Wire.read ( ) ;    // receive a byte as character
    Serial.print (c) ;         // print the character
  }   delay ( 500 ) ; }
