Software serial is still not available yet as we already have 3 hardware serial interface and it is currently not on our schedule. For I2C, our boards are primarily I2C masters. I2C slave APIs are work in progress at the moment and is on our schedule.
Currently our boards cannot act as an I2C slave at the moment.
Typical Use Case:
AMB82 Mini board (Master I2c) ———— other slave I2c devices
Hi Kevin. Thanks for the clarifications on Software Serial removal from your futures list, and that I2C slave use also doesn’t exist, yet is listed in examples. Are you now going to remove the sketches that are not functional from the Arduino list and clarify docs so that other designers will not waste time and resources testing functions that don’t (yet) exist? Or should I raise as issues(s)?
Thanks, Mel
Thanks for your query. Actually the master send and master receive examples (AMB82-Mini as master) are working.
What we are currently missing is the slave read and slave write examples (AMB82-mini as slave). We are working on it and therefore there is no need to remove the existing examples. To test whether the examples are working, you will need 1 AMB82-Mini as i2c master and another MCU such as Arduino Uno as I2C slave.
