addressing. Each device is given a unique address, and the protocol can address packets to a specific device or to
broadcast packets to all devices on the bus. Refer to the Microchip PIC32MX3XX/4XX Family Datasheet and the
PIC32 Family Reference Manual for detailed information on configuring and using the I

The I C daisy chain connector provides two positions each for connecting to the I
using two-wire or four-wire MTE cables (available separately from Digilent) a daisy chain of multiple I
devices can be created.

The I C bus is an open-collector bus. Devices on the bus actively drive the signals low. The high state of the I
signals is achieved by pull-up resistors when no device is driving the lines low. One device on the I
provide the pull-up resistors. On the Basys MX3, I
on the bus will need to have the pull-ups enabled.
