NAME

Device::SMBus - Perl interface for smbus using libi2c-dev library.

VERSION

version 0.10

SYNOPSIS

   use Device::SMBus;
   $dev = Device::SMBus->new(
     I2CBusDevicePath => '/dev/i2c-1',
     I2CDeviceAddress => 0x1e,
   );
   print $dev->readByteData(0x20);

DESCRIPTION

This is a perl interface to smbus interface using libi2c-dev library.

CONSTANTS

I2C_SLAVE

ATTRIBUTES

I2CBusDevicePath

Device path of the I2C Device.

 * On Raspberry Pi Model A this would usually be /dev/i2c-0 if you are using the default pins.
 * On Raspberry Pi Model B this would usually be /dev/i2c-1 if you are using the default pins.

I2CDeviceAddress

This is the Address of the device on the I2C bus, this is usually available in the device Datasheet.

 * for /dev/i2c-0 look at output of `sudo i2cdetect -y 0' 
 * for /dev/i2c-1 look at output of `sudo i2cdetect -y 1' 

METHODS

fileError

returns IO::Handle->error() for the device handle since the last clearerr

writeQuick

$self->writeQuick($value)

readByte

$self->readByte()

writeByte

$self->writeByte()

readByteData

$self->readByteData($register_address)

writeByteData

$self->writeByteData($register_address,$value)

readNBytes

$self->readNBytes($lowest_byte_address, $number_of_bytes);

Read together N bytes of Data in linear register order. i.e. to read from 0x28,0x29,0x2a

$self->readNBytes(0x28,3);
