How does the I2C debugger virtual tool work?
Although I'm not an "expert" on I2C, I do understand the basics, and have breadboarded a couple of projects that actually work.

But I'm planning on building more challenging I2C projects, and know that the I2C debugger will be a valuable tool...only if I know how to use it.

I can't find find any tutorials...any pointers?

Yes - the I2C Analyzer should be a big help as you can use it as an I2C Master Device, an I2C Slave Device or a simple traffic monitor.

Best place to start is the help file. Place the instrument on the schematic, right click to edit component and then select the HELP button from the right hand side.

Also have a look at the writei2c / readi2c samples in the PICAXE samples folder - these have the i2c debugging tool in use.

thanks for your prompt reply. Sometimes one already has the answer in front of your face......
I got confused because I was looking at the main help menu, and could not find anything there. I had assumed that the HELP button would take me to the same menu.....
