This is a platform agnostic Rust driver for the for TCA9548A and PCA9548A I2C
switches/multiplexers using the embedded-hal traits.
This driver allows you to:
- Enable one or multiple I2C channels. See:
select_channels(). - Communicate with the slaves connected to the enabled channels transparently.
- Split the device into slave (virtual) I2C devices (one per channel). See:
split().
The TCA954xA and PCA954x devices have two to eight bidirectional translating switches that can be controlled through the I2C bus. The SCL/SDA upstream pair fans out to eight downstream pairs, or channels. Any individual SCn/SDn channel or combination of channels can be selected, determined by the contents of the programmable control register. These downstream channels can be used to resolve I2C slave address conflicts. For example, if eight identical digital temperature sensors are needed in the application, one sensor can be connected at each channel: 0-N.
The TCA9545/3A and PCA9545/3A devices have an assosciated interrupt pin INT for each channel
which can be polled to check which channels have pending interrupts.
(Tip: Can also be used as general inputs)
To use this driver, import this crate and an embedded_hal implementation,
then instantiate the device.
