Rust I2cdev

Build Status Version License

Documentation

The Rust i2cdev crate seeks to provide full access to the Linux i2cdev driver interface in Rust without the need to wrap any C code or directly make low-level system calls. The documentation for the i2cdev interace can be found at https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/i2c/dev-interface and in the lm-sensors projects.

Example/API

The source includes an example of using the library to talk to a Wii Nunchuck (which has an i2c interface). Go View the Example.

Here's a real quick example showing the guts of how you create device and start talking to it... This device only requires basic functions (read/write) which are done via the Read/Write traits (if you actually want to use the Wii Nunchuck you should use i2cdev::sensors::nunchuck::Nunchuck:

extern crate i2cdev;

use std::thread;
use std::time::Duration;

use i2cdev::core::*;
use i2cdev::linux::{LinuxI2CDevice, LinuxI2CError};

const NUNCHUCK_SLAVE_ADDR: u16 = 0x52;

// real code should probably not use unwrap()
fn i2cfun() -> Result<(), LinuxI2CError> {
    let mut dev = try!(LinuxI2CDevice::new("/dev/i2c-1", NUNCHUCK_SLAVE_ADDR));

    // init sequence
    try!(dev.smbus_write_byte_data(0xF0, 0x55));
    try!(dev.smbus_write_byte_data(0xFB, 0x00));
    thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(100));

    loop {
        let mut buf: [u8; 6] = [0; 6];
        dev.smbus_write_byte(0x00).unwrap();
        thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(10));
        dev.read(&mut buf).unwrap();
        println!("Reading: {:?}", buf);
    }
}

In addition to the Read/Write traits, the following methods are available via the I2CDevice trait.

Features

The following features are implemented and planned for the library:

  • Implement the Read trait
  • Implement the Write trait
  • Implement SMBus Methods
  • Add Tests/Example for SMBus Methods
  • Add sensor library for handy sensors (and examples)
  • Add higher-level APIs/Macros for simplifying access to devices with large register sets
  • Add Support for Non-SMBus ioctl methods
  • Add examples for non-smbus ioctl methods
  • Unit Testing

Cross Compiling

Most likely, the machine you are running on is not your development machine (although it could be). In those cases, you will need to cross-compile. See https://github.com/japaric/rust-cross for pointers.
