A START condition is sent by writing the following value to TWCR:
TWCR
TWINT
value
1
TWEN must be written to one to enable the 2-wire Serial Interface, TWSTA must be written to
one to transmit a START condition and TWINT must be set to clear the TWINT Flag. The TWI
will then test the 2-wire Serial Bus and generate a START condition as soon as the bus
becomes free. After a START condition has been transmitted, the TWINT Flag is set by hard-
ware, and the status code in TWSR will be 0x08 (See
SLA+R must be transmitted. This is done by writing SLA+R to TWDR. Thereafter the TWINT bit
should be cleared (by writing it to one) to continue the transfer. This is accomplished by writing
the following value to TWCR:
TWCR
TWINT
value
1
When SLA+R have been transmitted and an acknowledgement bit has been received, TWINT is
set again and a number of status codes in TWSR are possible. Possible status codes in Master
mode are 0x38, 0x40, or 0x48. The appropriate action to be taken for each of these status codes
is detailed in
Table
19-3. Received data can be read from the TWDR Register when the TWINT
Flag is set high by hardware. This scheme is repeated until the last byte has been received.
After the last byte has been received, the MR should inform the ST by sending a NACK after the
last received data byte. The transfer is ended by generating a STOP condition or a repeated
START condition. A STOP condition is generated by writing the following value to TWCR:
TWCR
TWINT
value
1
A REPEATED START condition is generated by writing the following value to TWCR:
TWCR
TWINT
value
1
After a repeated START condition (state 0x10) the 2-wire Serial Interface can access the same
Slave again, or a new Slave without transmitting a STOP condition. Repeated START enables
