setting an i2c register to high - pic

Question

I have this project that my boss asked me to do and the first step is to figure out how to set a given I2C register to high or low using the silicon lab library, if anyone knows any good sources for this type of problem please provide them thank you. The pic that I am using is the pic16f1823, I've already looked at the documentation of the pic but into only states how to read and write to an I2c.

Answer 1

I use this as a header file and seems to work well for PIC16F1827 which is basically the same as the 1823. It used the peripheral of the PIC. Just include in in any c file you want to use i2c in. Make sure you #define FOSC in order to calculate the correct baud rate. Also double check the port and tris assignments are correct for your device and make adjustments.
It uses polling instead of an interrupt. Uncomment the interrupt setup code and write an interrupt service routine to catch the interrupts.

Then you can use the higher level functions defined above to control a device, which is described in the datasheet of the slave device.
For example, to read from an eeprom:
#include <xc.h>
#define FOSC 16000000
#include "i2c.h"
unsigned char i2c_read_eeprom( unsigned char slaveaddress, unsigned char memaddress )
{
unsigned char data;
data = 123;
i2c_Start();
i2c_Address( slaveaddress, I2C_WRITE);
i2c_Write(memaddress);
if( SSP1CON2bits.ACKSTAT )
txstring("ACK!\r\n");
else txstring("nACK!\r\n");
i2c_Start();
i2c_Address( slaveaddress, I2C_READ);
data = i2c_Read(0);
i2c_Stop();
return data;
}
