readByte method

int readByte(
  1. int address
)

Reads a byte from the I2C device with the address.

Some I2C devices can directly be read without explicit register.

Implementation

int readByte(int address) {
  var data = <I2Cmsg>[];
  data.add(I2Cmsg(address, [I2CmsgFlags.i2c_m_rd], 1));
  var result = transfer(data);
  try {
    var ptr = result._messages[0].buf;
    var value = ptr[0];
    return value;
  } finally {
    result.dispose();
  }
}
