Crate xca9548a[][src]

This is a platform agnostic Rust driver for the TCA9548A and PCA9548A I2C switches/multiplexers, based on the embedded-hal traits.

This driver allows you to:

  • Enable one or multiple I2C channels.
  • Communicate with the slaves connected to the enabled channels transparently.

The devices

The TCA9548A and PCA9548 devices have eight bidirectional translating switches that can be controlled through the I2C bus. The SCL/SDA upstream pair fans out to eight downstream pairs, or channels. Any individual SCn/SDn channel or combination of channels can be selected, determined by the contents of the programmable control register. These downstream channels can be used to resolve I2C slave address conflicts. For example, if eight identical digital temperature sensors are needed in the application, one sensor can be connected at each channel: 0-7.

Instantiating with the default address

Import this crate and an embedded_hal implementation, then instantiate the device:

extern crate linux_embedded_hal as hal;
extern crate xca9548a;

use hal::I2cdev;
use xca9548a::{TCA9548A, SlaveAddr};

let dev = I2cdev::new("/dev/i2c-1").unwrap();
let address = SlaveAddr::default();
let mut i2c_switch = TCA9548A::new(dev, address);

Providing an alternative address

extern crate linux_embedded_hal as hal;
extern crate xca9548a;

use hal::I2cdev;
use xca9548a::{TCA9548A, SlaveAddr};

let dev = I2cdev::new("/dev/i2c-1").unwrap();
let (a2, a1, a0) = (false, false, true);
let address = SlaveAddr::Alternative(a2, a1, a0);
let mut i2c_switch = TCA9548A::new(dev, address);

Selecting channel 0 (SD0/SC0 pins)

extern crate linux_embedded_hal as hal;
extern crate xca9548a;

use hal::I2cdev;
use xca9548a::{TCA9548A, SlaveAddr};

let dev = I2cdev::new("/dev/i2c-1").unwrap();
let address = SlaveAddr::default();
let mut i2c_switch = TCA9548A::new(dev, address);
i2c_switch.select_channels(0b0000_0001).unwrap();

Reading and writing to device connected to channel 0 (SD0/SC0 pins)

extern crate embedded_hal;
extern crate linux_embedded_hal as hal;
extern crate xca9548a;

use hal::I2cdev;
use embedded_hal::blocking::i2c::{ Read, Write };
use xca9548a::{ TCA9548A, SlaveAddr };

let dev = I2cdev::new("/dev/i2c-1").unwrap();
let address = SlaveAddr::default();
let mut i2c_switch = TCA9548A::new(dev, address);
i2c_switch.select_channels(0b0000_0001).unwrap();

let slave_address = 0b010_0000; // example slave address
let data_for_slave = [0b0101_0101, 0b1010_1010]; // some data to be sent
 
// Read some data from a slave connected to channel 0 using the
// I2C switch just as a normal I2C device
let mut read_data = [0; 2];
i2c_switch.read(slave_address, &mut read_data).unwrap();

// Write some data to the slave
i2c_switch.write(slave_address, &data_for_slave).unwrap();
