Hello.

Is there any way to change the I2C bus frequency on a ChipKit? It seems to be 100 kHz by default.

I have tried changing the frequency in the twi.h header file in the MPIDE distribution, which doesn't appear to change the bus frequency, as it does for Arduino.

Thanks!

Which twi.h file did you alter? The one in: \mpide-0022-windows-20111212-test\hardware\pic32\libraries\Wire

or the one in:

\mpide-0022-windows-20111212-test\libraries\Wire

The first should be the correct one for the Chipkit.

Aha! Yes, that solved it. I had never thought there was a separate set of libraries for the PIC32 architecture, but it makes quite a lot of sense that there is.

It even seems to work for a 1 MHz bus speed. Very nice indeed.

Thanks for your help, dangeljs
