Hi

I want to be able to configure a Raspberry Pi device as an i2c slave device.

Is this possible with any of the abel electronics I2C add on modules?

Hi Sean

As far as I am aware, it is not possible to configure a Raspberry Pi as an I2C slave device, and none of our add-on modules would allow you to do this.

OK Thanks for the reply.

I did find an example project for the Raspberry Pi Pico board which enables slave mode.

https://pypi.org/project/picoslave/

I haven't tried it yet but from the description it looks like it will support i2c slave mode.

I am not sure if this is for the Pi Pico only and not possible on other Pi's e.g. Pi 4.

regards

The Pico uses a different I2C controller to the full-size Pi boards like the Pi 4, so the picoslave project code will only work on the Pico.
