The I2C_TWI-MULTI library is intended to be used with normal AVR processors which have 2 or more TWI interfaces.

An example of such a processor is the ATMEGA328PB

 

In order to support multiple busses, this library need to be included using the $LIB directive.

Further you need to create a byte variable named _i2cchannel in your code.

 

This variable will hold the bus or TWI number.

By default it will be 0 and thus the usual TWI hardware will be used :  Portc.5  and  Portc.4

 

By setting the variable to 1, the second TWI hardware will be used :   Porte.0  and Porte.1

 

Further you need to use CONFIG TWI1 instead of CONFIG TWI in order to specify the clock rate for the second TWI : Config Twi1 = 100000

 

All other code will remain compatible.
