The I2C_USI library is an alternative I2C master library. It is intended to be used with processors that have an USI interface.

Using the hardware is better since it will use less processor resources.

If a processor has TWI, use the TWI

If a processors has USI, use the USI

If a processor has no hardware I2C, use the default built in software routines.

 

To use the USI in master mode, use CONFIG USI.
