LabView Program for I2C Interface

[SteveVIT]

I'm trying to write a LabView 6i program for writing commands to and reading data from an I2C interface. The equipment is already interfaced to a PC via the parallel port. I have searched the archives, and a couple of people have asked this about 2 years ago without any posted solution. Has anyone done this before who could give me some direction as to how to do this?

Thank you very much....

Hi Steve,

I think the problem would be timing issues with sending and recieving
I2C data from a printer port.

What we use is a 'RS232 to I2C Host Adapter' from Micro Computer Control
USA. This provides an ASCII interface to the binary I2C protocols which
you can use a terminal, or LabVIEW, to communicate with.

It doesn't come with LV drivers and our drivers are designed for a
specific product and won't be much help to you.

Hope this helps

Tim

We do have a driver for the parallel printer port and it consists out of a low level driver and a high level I2C labview interface. We also have an USB I2C interface but that is not "yet" sold outside philips.
The schematic of this parallel port interface is extremely simple and can be build by anyone who can solder an ic between two connectors.
Pricing is no problem. The software is free but support is not guaranteed. (only if normal business allows to spend some time)

I have used this interface (the previous version) for several years without any problem and I can only recommend it...

Mr. Geven,

Thank you very much for your reply. Is the driver available somewhere on the (Philips?) internet?

Thanks again,
