Notes

If you are interested in running any of the examples for I2C written in C/C++ as a regular user (not root) perform the following steps:

  • Remove line "wiringPiSetup();" in "HTU21D_test.c"
  • Add your user in "i2c" group

Buzzer

C

Beep

Simple application to test if a piezo buzzer attached to pin 11 is working.

Install wiringPi and after that execute the following command to build the application:

cd buzzer/c/
gcc beep.c -o beep -lwiringPi -std=c99

Execute the following command to run the application:

sudo ./beep

Star Wars

Implementation of the Imperial March from Star Wars.

Install wiringPi and after that execute the following command to build the application:

cd buzzer/c/
gcc starwars.c -o starwars -lwiringPi -std=c99

Execute the following command to play the Imperial March:

sudo ./starwars

TSL2561

Install i2c tools:

sudo apt-get install i2c-tools

Enable i2c on Raspberry Pi with Raspian GNU/Linux distribution:

sudo raspi-config

Go to Advanced Options > A7 I2C and reboot the board

Verify that TSL2561 is detected on i2c address 39 on bus 1:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ i2cdetect -y 1
     0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f
00:          -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 39 -- -- -- -- -- -- 
40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

Build and run the source code

cd TSL2561/c/
make
./TSL2561_test

MAX44009 Ambient Light Sensor Module

Build and run the source code

cd MAX44009/c/
make
./MAX44009_test
