StarBar's Journal: I2C rocks!

Today I looked deeply into the I2C bus and I really think it rocks! This 2 wire multidrop bus allows many many devices to be attached at the same time and its cheap to implement. With the I2C support in Linux it is really easy to implement using two spare GPIO pins or a special purpose device. Each device is then capable of requesting bus mastering and send or receive data at speeds counted in megabits per second. Using 2 wires! Using a battery powered PIC just think of what can be created in terms of external devices. Why bother with USB when you can download audio files over I2C. I just must get hold of a cool I2C device! USB sucks, Go I2C Go Go Go!!! ;-)
