Integrating I2C sensors

[Dancho]

I haven't found anything about integrating an I2c sensor with Unistream.

 

Is this a no-no?  Or is the practical way to have an intermediary device communicating via serial or otherwise?

I2C is not a native protocol for the UniStream. Typically it's used for 2 wire communications between  EEPROMs, A/D and D/A converters, I/O interfaces.  It's synchronous, so there's a shared clock which is controlled by the Master.    If the master is the UniStream I suppose you could use I?O to do it using a clock pulse from an output and an input that feeds to an array of bits that you shift every clock pulse.    

 

You'd have to code it all though so could be very time consuming, your probably better off looking for a third party device that can convert to serial or other.
