The At24cxx is a family of Serial EEPROM utilizing an I2C (2-wire) serial interface.
This implementation supports the following devices:
Important: I2C pins for the ESP32 must be properly setup the before creating the I2cDevice
. For this, make sure you install the nanoFramework.Hardware.Esp32
NuGet and use the Configuration
class to configure the pins:
// When connecting with an ESP32 device you will need to configure the I2C GPIOs used for the bus.
Configuration.SetPinFunction(Gpio.IO21, DeviceFunction.I2C1_DATA);
Configuration.SetPinFunction(Gpio.IO22, DeviceFunction.I2C1_CLOCK);
For other devices like STM32, please make sure you're using the preset pins for the I2C bus you want to use.
