2.8.6 IIC object method: dev_read(addr, len)
Receives a string of len bytes from IIC bus device at address addr.
Return value is a Python string which is containing data received.
Example:
a = bus1.dev_read(114,10)
receives a string of 10 bytes from IIC bus device at address 114, assigning it to a.
2.8.7 IIC object method: dev_write(addr, string)
Sends a string to the IIC bus device at address addr.
Return value is a Python string which is 1 if data is acknowledged correctly, -1 otherwise.
Example:
a = bus1.dev_write(114,'123456789')
sends the string '123456789' to the IIC bus device at address 114, assigning the result to a.
2.8.8 IIC object method: dev_gen_read(addr, start, len)
Receives a string of len bytes from IIC bus device whose address is addr, starting from address start.
Return value is a Python string which is containing data received.
Example:
a = bus1.dev_gen_read(114,122, 10)
receives a string of 10 bytes from IIC bus device at address 114, starting from address 122 assigning
it to a.
