i2c implementation using NI-6008

[Newbee_2]

Hi everybody

I have a NI-6008 Low cost multifunction DAQ.

Can i use this with voltage level shifter to implement I2C protocol...

You'd need to use the bit-banging approach (i.e., you change the clock and data lines yourself) and it would be software-timed. But yeah, you could do it.

Your next question will be: are there any examples? There are plenty of examples on doing digital I/O that get installed with DAQmx. As for I2C implementation, the spec is available. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%C2%B2C

Sorry but after much testing and different bit-banging approch we came to conclusion that NI-6008 is much slower device to handle I2C so we are switching to NI-845x but lots of thanks to everybody for their help....

Is there any NI modules which contains analog measurements and digital measurements and frequency and also main I2C communication in one module???

Please give a suggesion if any third party modules also including above parameters.

Hi vam,

please stop creating double/multiple posts for the very same question!

Have you thought of using an Arduino? I haven't tried it myself yet but it has I2C capabilities built in. There is a large LV community supporting it.
