I2C EEPROM read write

This example application demonstrates how to use the I2C peripheral to write and read from the I2C serial EEPROM memory.

Description

This example uses the I2C peripheral library to write an array of values to the I2C Serial EEPROM and verify the value written by reading the values back and comparing it to the value written.

Setting up PIC32MK MCJ Curiosity Pro Board

Setting up PIC32MK MCM Curiosity Pro Board

  • To run the application, following additional hardware are required:
  • Connect micro USB cable to the ‘USB Debug’ connector on the board to the computer
  • Connect the EEPROM 3 click board to J300

Setting up PIC32MK MCA Curiosity Pro Board

  • To run the application, following additional hardware are required:
  • Connect micro USB cable to the ‘USB Debug’ connector on the board to the computer
  • Connect the EEPROM 3 click board to mikroBUS header

Running the Application

  • Build and program the application using its IDE
    • LED indicates the success or failure:
      • LED is turned ON when the value read from the EEPROM matched with the written value
      • LED is turned OFF when the value read from the EEPROM did not match with the written value

Following table provides LED names:
