Custom Wire

Description

Performs an initialization of the library specifying the instance of Wire to use.

On boards that support custom instance of Wire, the custom instance can be passed into the library. This method will NOT call begin() on the Wire instance passed.

Parameters

wire : TwoWire*

Returns

successful: bool

Example

#include <Wire.h>
#include <MAX17043.h>

TwoWire _wire1;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  _wire1.begin();
  FuelGauge.begin(&_wire1);
}

void loop()
{
  Serial.print("Battery percentage is ");
  Serial.print(_fuelGauge.percent());
}

or

#include <Wire.h>
#include <MAX1704X.h>

TwoWire _wire1;
MAX1704X _fuelGauge = MAX1704X(MAX17043_mV); 

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  _wire1.begin();
  _fuelGauge.begin(&_wire1);
}

void loop()
{
  Serial.print("Battery percentage is ");
  Serial.print(_fuelGauge.percent());
}

Notes

The default fuel gauge address used by the library is 0x36 (I2C_DEFAULT_ADDRESS).
