Can any one help me to connect two atmega8 MCs using i2c?....Actualy I'm not familiar wid dis i2c & AVR....So plz help me if u knw......

It is not a difficult connection to make. All you have to do is connect the SDA and SCL pins of both MCUs with each other. That is SDA goes to SDA and SCL goes to SCL. In addition you need two pull up resistors on those lines.




Finally check the following post out for some usefull references.

Hope that helped.
 
But, how to upload the program to atmega8 in linux??....(we are using parallel port for de connection.....)

Sorry I don't use Linux. :-(
But in any case it would be helpful for someone to know which compiler and programming device you are using.
Cheers!
 
How leds can be connected for the communication b/t avrs in dis fig....**broken link removed** v need transducers for de communication??...if u knw plz help....
Sorry, but the provided link gives me an error and I cannot open it.
 

The simplest method is to delegate one AVR the master and the other the slave device.

Here is an example project implementing an I2C bus between two ATMEGA32 using their TWI interface:





You can modify the example project to include additional sensors as needed.

I believe there are more optimum values than 10K for the pull up. Like let's say 2K2 (it depends on the supply voltage also). For very short distances and slow communication speed you may get away with this value of 10K. Otherwise it will be difficult to have an operating TWI interface.

page 170:
The number of devices that can be connected to the bus is only limited by the bus
capacitance limit of 400 pF and the 7-bit slave address space. A detailed specification of
the electrical characteristics of the TWI is given in “Two-wire Serial Interface Character-
istics” on page 290. Two different sets of specifications are presented there, one
relevant for bus speeds below 100 kHz, and one valid for bus speeds up to 400 kHz.

Also at page 290 it is written that for speed<=100KHz, Rp=1000ns/Cb=(10^-6)/(400*10^-12)=2K5 (but this value is for bus capacitance 400pF). For greater bus speed, this ohmic value drops to 30% according to the same table.
**broken link removed**

You could have this in mind in case you observe with the oscilloscope misquoted pulses on the TWI lines.

https://obrazki.elektroda.pl/84_1325215544.jpg can u snd de c code(master & slave) for dis ckt?..

It is available at the link I provided, under the "Code" and "Code2" tab.

However, here it is for your convenience:


Master Mode TWI

Oh sorry...I found that code...
But can we use 2 ATMEGA8s instead of ATMEGA32s?...If can, what change we need to implement in the code?...
 

...yaa..I tried it with ATMEGA8.But, not working...:sad:
 

Do anyone have de code for ATMEGA8 bootloader?..
 

we didn't find de bootloader(ATMEGA8) source code in de provided reference.....Actually we need de code.....plz help .:sad:
 

Solved the problem of bootloader......... https://obrazki.elektroda.pl/84_1325215544.jpg We tried the same ckt with ATMEGA8.....we have connected only one led to both master and slave and also hav given some modifications to the ckt according to the pin configuration of atmega8.....But only one led(on the master side) is blinking....
