Unable to read slave data.

What does data[7:0] mean??



Here , What does DATA[7:0] mean, Do I have to send just (char DATA) to i2c_write function or it should be like (char DATA =0x00).

Hi,

Data[7:0]= 8 bits of data
* data7, data6, data5....data0.

So we just send char data= 0x00 or it should be any specific address.

Hi,

Are you aware, the we don't know
* what controller you use
* what I2C device you use
* what compiler you use
* what libraries you use
...

Assuming that the I2C address indicates that you are doing a write to the device, then you should be putting in whatever value you need to send to that device address.

I am using Avr atmega 32 and MFRC522 and atmel studoo.

Hi,
I am doing project on RFID MFRC522. I have done read and write cycle according to datasheet page 20. I have send device address, and Fifo register address(0x09 datasheet page 36) and 8 bit data. I have done according to cycle But I cannot read the data. I dont know where I am getting ERROR. I think I have used right registers address and function are also ok.

Hi,

I have no experience with your library functions. But from standard I2C communication:

unsigned char Rfid_get_data
    
    i2c_start(Write_Address+I2c_write);
    i2c_write(Register_Address);
    _delay_ms(1);
    i2c_start(Write_Address+I2C_READ); [COLOR="#FF0000"]--> here I expect I2C_repeated_start instead of I2C_start[/COLOR].
    Data = i2c_readAck();[COLOR="#FF0000"]--> here I expect to send a dummy byte 0xFF, then read the I2C_input_data_register[/COLOR].

Maybe your library functions do this correctly --> read the library documentation
Or look for verified code examples. I2C communication is almost independent from I2C_slave type, thus no need to look for a MFRC522 code.
