# I2C

#### Overview of I2C Integration in VAN PI OS

I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) is a standard protocol for chip-to-chip communication, widely used for connecting various components in a system. VAN PI OS leverages I2C to connect and communicate with different chips efficiently.

**I2C Device Check**

In the web interface, there is a button to scan and check all devices connected to the I2C bus. This feature serves as the first troubleshooting step in identifying any hardware faults.

**I2C Device Addresses**

The following addresses are used for specific components in the system:

* **0x20**: MCP Relay Controller
* **0x55 and 0x70**: PCA PWM Controller (DIMMY)
* **0x48**: ADS Water Level Sensor
* **0x67**: MPU (Motion Processing Unit)

By using this integrated I2C communication, VAN PI OS ensures seamless interaction between various hardware components, enhancing the overall functionality and reliability of the system.
