I2C Master Hardware

Explanation:

This program demonstrates how to read and write data from an EEPROM device using the serial protocal called I2C.

This program uses the hardware I2C module within the microcontroller. If your microcontroller does not have a hardware I2C module then please use the software I2C Great Cow BASIC ibrary.

This program has three sections.

1. Read a single byte from the EEPROM
2. Write and read a page of 64 bytes to and from the EEPROM, and
3. Finally display the contents of the EEPROM.

This program has an interrupt driven serial handler to capture and manage input from a serial terminal.
