WireWrite

write()

Description

Writes data from a slave device in response to a request from a master, or queues bytes for transmission from a master to slave device (in-between calls to beginTransmission() and endTransmission()).

Syntax

Wire.write(value)
Wire.write(string)
Wire.write(data, length)

Parameters

value: a value to send as a single byte

string: a string to send as a series of bytes

data: an array of data to send as bytes

length: the number of bytes to transmit

Returns

byte: write() will return the number of bytes written, though reading that number is optional

Example

#include <Wire.h> byte val = 0 ; void setup ( ) {
Wire.begin ( ) ; // join i2c bus } void loop ( ) {
Wire.beginTransmission ( 44 ) ; // transmit to device #44 (0x2c)
// device address is specified in datasheet
Wire.write (val) ; // sends value byte
Wire.endTransmission ( ) ; // stop transmitting val++; // increment value
if (val == 64 ) // if reached 64th position (max)
{
val = 0 ; // start over from lowest value
}
delay ( 500 ) ;
}
