STM32 I2C Scanner

I2C scanner for STM32f10x series

I2C scanner is fairly simple, yet fast and effective way to find whatever device you put onto I2C bus. Some devices (boards) comes with clear designation on the PCB, some with misleading designation – address is shifted to the left, so for example OLED display typical address is 0x3C/0x3D (depends of address selector jumper), but shifted to the left by 1 bit is 0x78 or 0x7A respectively. They made it as if zero bit is inserted at LSB place so that you ‘just’ send it as-is. But that is bad practice. Rather make your own shifting routine and insert 1 or 0, whether you want to read or write at this address.

Example:

The code is even simpler:

/* Part of the code, will not work alone !!! */

void twiScan(void)
{		int a=0; 
	 	for (uint8_t i=0;i<128;i++)
   {
			I2C1->CR1 |= I2C_CR1_START;
			while(!(I2C1->SR1 & I2C_SR1_SB));
			I2C1->DR=(i<<1|0); 
			while(!(I2C1->SR1)|!(I2C1->SR2)){}; 
			I2C1->CR1 |= I2C_CR1_STOP; 
			delay(100);//minium wait time is 40 uS, but for sure, leave it 100 uS
			a=(I2C1->SR1&I2C_SR1_ADDR);
			if (a==2)
		 {
				printMsg("Found I2C device at adress 0x%X (hexadecimal), or %d (decimal)\n",i,i);
		 }
	 }
}

Whole thing scan all 127 addresses in 45 mS.

Here is how looks whole packet with six addresses found. After each address found, there is 5.5 mS delay until timeout.:


Almost standard wire.c library

Since I am beginner, I just begin to make few more or less standard libraries for STM32f10x series. Right now there are three functions in wire.c; twiScan(), twiSend(), and twiReceive(). So far I did not found need for anything else, but that may change, so stay tuned. Since I have none of other MCU that has different set of registers with also different syntax for those. Here is complete thing with example of main.c code that does nothing except scan.:

#include "stm32f10x.h"
#include "printMsg.h"
#include "wire.h"
#include "delayUs.h"

int main()
{
  usart_1_enable(); //enabling printMsg();
  twiEnable();//enabling two wire interface, IIC or I2C
  twiScan();//before anything else, lets check which devices are on the bus, 
}

Implemented in wire.c with wireSend() and wireReceive() functions:

/* Two Wire Interface, I2C (or IIC), here will be called 'twi', and we have
   only twiEnable(), twiSend() and twiReceive(). The twiSend() function is 
	 fairly simple, we just send address of the device shifted to the left by
	 1 bit, or-red | zero (0) at free space that tell I2C bus it is for write operation.
	 The receive twiReceive() function works by sending address also shifted left
	 one bit with logic or | zero (0) at empty bit (LSB), but then we must send command 
	 to the device depending what device has. After command, we stop (although
	 we can remove STOP condition and continue to "repeated start", then we
	 must change bit after address of the device, now it is one (1) that tells
	 I2C bus we want to read. If we try only read from some address, device
	 don't know what to send. So we must first issue command, then read. For
	 specific command set read datasheet of particular device - it is different
	 for all different devices. More on my website: http://wp.me/p7jxwp-nD */
