In this project, we’ll do an I2C Communication Between Two Arduino Boards<\/strong>. We’ll also discuss some Arduino I2C communication basics and fundamentals as a quick review of what we’ve previously learned in more detail in this previous Arduino I2C Tutorial<\/a>. We’ll discuss all 3 possible I2C communication scenarios and create 3 different I2C communication Arduino projects to cover them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’ll run the I2C communication between two Arduino boards projects in both the simulation environment and in real life to check how it behaves. Without further ado, let’s get right into it!<\/p>\n\n\n An I2C device (Master or Slave) can be a transmitter or a receiver and it\u2019s up to you, the system designer & programmer, to decide whether a specific I2C device on the bus (Master or Slave) will be a data transmitter or receiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Given that we\u2019re only considering Two Arduino boards (I2C devices), then it\u2019s a one-to-one communication. In other words, the Two Arduino boards will form a Single-Master Single-Slave I2C bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, the I2C communication between the two Arduino boards can take one of the following forms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Which depends on your target application and what you\u2019re trying to achieve. This will be the basis on which you\u2019ll choose the most suitable form of communication between the two Arduino boards (I2C devices).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, we’ll implement each of the 3 possible forms of I2C communication between the two Arduino boards that we’ve mentioned above. I’ll give you a brief use case for each form of communication to help you make a guided design decision when you’re choosing the configuration that suits the needs of your next projects in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You need to refer to the tutorial below to help you understand the basics of Arduino I2C communication and how to use the Wire.h library functions. It’s a prerequisite for this tutorial so you can smoothly proceed with the example projects we’ll implement hereafter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
