BMP180 on I2C of RFlink

#1 Post by hremijn » 23 Jun 2016, 13:30

Hi,

I want to connect a BMP180 to the I2C ports of the RFlink/ATmega and readout the values from my domotica system.
Is this already supported in RFlink?
If not, is support planned?

my personal opinion on this:

I do not think this is the way to go with RFLink. I2C needs the wire library and every sensor needs it,s own library. ATmega is a relative slow processor , it needs to decode RF signals , communicate with a host over USB and eventually communicate with the wireless NRF module. This is already a lot to do for this board.
Future extra RF protocols will need all the resources of the mega2560.

Processorpower/boards are very cheap, why not use a Nano to connect I2C devices over USB ?
Or use the ESPEasy project for connecting sensors to your project.

I have no influence on the developer(s) , I do not know the direction RFLink will go.

There are a lot of other options of course to connect sensors.
But as there is a I2C connector available on RFLink board, this is an expected question.
