Installation

npm install i2c-bus

The way in which I2C is configured varies from board to board. Sometimes no configuraton is required, but sometimes it is:

• Configuring I2C on the Raspberry Pi
• Configuring Software I2C on the Raspberry Pi
  • Consider software I2C when there are issues communicating with a device on a Raspberry Pi

Usage

The example programs below show how to use a MCP9808 I2C temperature sensor to determine the temperature.

MCP9808 I2C temperature sensor connected to a Raspberry Pi

Example 1 - Promises

Determine the temperature with a MCP9808 I2C temperature sensor using promises.

const i2c = require('i2c-bus');

const MCP9808_ADDR = 0x18;
const TEMP_REG = 0x05;

const toCelsius = rawData => {
  rawData = (rawData >> 8) + ((rawData & 0xff) << 8);
  let celsius = (rawData & 0x0fff) / 16;
  if (rawData & 0x1000) {
    celsius -= 256;
  }
  return celsius;
};

i2c.openPromisified(1).
then(i2c1 => i2c1.readWord(MCP9808_ADDR, TEMP_REG).
  then(rawData => console.log(toCelsius(rawData))).
  then(_ => i2c1.close())
).catch(console.log);

Example 2 - Promises, Plain I2C and Buffers

Determine the temperature with a MCP9808 I2C temperature sensor using promises, plain I2C and Buffer objects.

const i2c = require('i2c-bus');

const MCP9808_ADDR = 0x18;
const TEMP_REG = 0x05;

const toCelsius = rawData => {
  let celsius = (rawData & 0x0fff) / 16;
  if (rawData & 0x1000) {
    celsius -= 256;
  }
  return celsius;
};

const wbuf = Buffer.from([TEMP_REG]);
const rbuf = Buffer.alloc(2);

i2c.openPromisified(1).
then(i2c1 => i2c1.i2cWrite(MCP9808_ADDR, wbuf.length, wbuf).
  then(_ => i2c1.i2cRead(MCP9808_ADDR, rbuf.length, rbuf)).
  then(data => console.log(toCelsius(data.buffer.readUInt16BE()))).
  then(_ => i2c1.close())
).catch(console.log);

Example 3 - Asynchronous Callbacks

Determine the temperature with a MCP9808 I2C temperature sensor using asynchronous callbacks.

const i2c = require('i2c-bus');

const MCP9808_ADDR = 0x18;
const TEMP_REG = 0x05;

const toCelsius = rawData => {
  rawData = (rawData >> 8) + ((rawData & 0xff) << 8);
  let celsius = (rawData & 0x0fff) / 16;
  if (rawData & 0x1000) {
    celsius -= 256;
  }
  return celsius;
};

const i2c1 = i2c.open(1, err => {
  if (err) throw err;

  i2c1.readWord(MCP9808_ADDR, TEMP_REG, (err, rawData) => {
    if (err) throw err;

    console.log(toCelsius(rawData));

    i2c1.close(err => {
      if (err) throw err;
    });
  });
});

Example 4 - Synchronous Methods

Determine the temperature with a MCP9808 I2C temperature sensor using synchronous methods.

const i2c = require('i2c-bus');

const MCP9808_ADDR = 0x18;
const TEMP_REG = 0x05;

const toCelsius = rawData => {
  rawData = (rawData >> 8) + ((rawData & 0xff) << 8);
  let celsius = (rawData & 0x0fff) / 16;
  if (rawData & 0x1000) {
    celsius -= 256;
  }
  return celsius;
};

Class Bus

All methods in class Bus have asynchronous callback and synchronous forms. For promise support see class PromisifiedBus.

The asynchronous callback form always take a completion callback as its last argument. The arguments passed to the completion callback depend on the method, but the first argument is always reserved for an exception. If the operation was completed successfully, then the first argument will be null or undefined.

When using the synchronous form any exceptions are immediately thrown. You can use try/catch to handle exceptions or allow them to bubble up.
