    I2C Between Arduinos With Potentiometer and LED: by Crockettcaleb

    This instructable shows how to use I2C communication between two Arduinos to control an LED based on the reading from a potentiometer connected to one Arduino. The Arduino with the potentiometer acts as the master and sends the potentiometer reading over I2C to the slave Arduino, which then maps the value to PWM to dim or brighten the LED. The circuit connects the two Arduinos with wires between their I2C pins and grounds. Code on the master reads the potentiometer and transmits the value. Code on the slave receives the value and uses it to set the LED brightness with analogWrite.

    I2C Between Arduinos With Potentiometer and LED

    by crockettcaleb

    By Caleb Crockett and Logan Dykes

    This circuit is designed to let one board communicate to another. This one is designed to send a value from one to
    dim or brighten the other LED.

    I2C Between Arduinos With Potentiometer and LED: Page 1


    Step 1: Materials

    You will need these items:

    1) Breadboard

    2) 2 Arduino Uno

    3) One LED

    4) Potentiometer

    5) 220 Ohm resistor

    6) Wires

    Step 2: Connecting the Breadboards

    Connect the two Arduinos with wires going from A4 to A4 and A5 to A5. And also connect the grounds to the
    grounds. These are analog pins.

    Step 3: Connect to LED

    Place an Led on the bread board. Make sure you connect the anode to the ground and the cathode to the pin 11.
    pin 11 has pulse width modulation and can disburse electricity with different pulses. Also. place a resistor between
    the cathode and the pin 11.

    Step 4: Arduino to Potentiometer

    First, connect the left pin on the meter to ground and the right pin on the five volt power supply. Next, connect the
    middle to pin A0.

    Step 5: Code for the "Slave Reciever"

    // Include the required Wire library for I2C void receiveEvent(int bytes) {
    #include
    x = Wire.read(); // read one character from the I2C
    int LED = 11;
    }
    int x = 0;
    void loop() {
    void setup() {
    //potentiometer value from sensor
    // Define the LED pin as Output
    int ledPWM = map(x, 0, 255, 0, 1023);
    pinMode (LED, OUTPUT);
    analogWrite(LED, ledPWM);
    // Start the I2C Bus as Slave on address 9
    Serial.print("X is: ");
    Wire.begin(9);
    Serial.println(x);
    // Attach a function to trigger when something is
    received. Serial.print("PWM is: ");

    Wire.onReceive(receiveEvent); Serial.println(ledPWM);

    //bit rate for data transfer over Serial communication delay(1000);

    Serial.begin(9600); }

    Step 6: Code for the "Master Sender"

    // Chapter 7 - Communications Serial.begin(9600);


    // I2C Master // By Cornel Amariei for Packt
    Publishing }

    // Include the required Wire library for I2C void loop() {

    #include <wire.h> sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);

    int x = 0; Serial.println(sensorValue);

    int sensorPin = A0; Wire.beginTransmission(9);

    int sensorValue = 0; // transmit to device #9

    void setup() { Wire.write(sensorValue);

    // Start the I2C Bus as Master delay(1000);

    Wire.begin(); Wire.endTransmission();

    // stop transmitting

    Step 7: End Result

    Now both of the Arduinos should be connected and ech should be hooked up with the LED and the other to the
    potentiometer. Make sure you have the right code uploaded to each. The slave is the LED and the Master is the
    meter.
