Introduction
The I2C Demonstration Board 2005-1 is a USB based solution that allows engineers and sales engineers to experiment with general-purpose I2C-bus devices from Philips.
The hardware connects to a standard USB port found on most IBM-compatible PCs and provides bidirectional communication with I2C-bus devices using the I2C-bus protocol.
The hardware is powered directly from the PCs USB port.
An on-board LED illuminates after the USB host has successfully enumerated it.
The Win-I2CUSB Lite software from The Boardshop runs on Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, and XP and is compatible with any PC hardware having a minimum of a Pentium processor and an USB port. The software allows the user to select one of the I2C-bus devices on the board from a menu and also provides a Universal mode to allow users to create their own I2C-bus commands with the same I2C-bus devices. The Win-I2CUSB Lite software is designed to operate only with the specific devices and device addresses on the I2C Demonstration Board 2005-1.
