I am using Arduino Mega2560, connect digital pin 20 to BIII SDA and pin 21 to BIII SCL and GRN to GRN with simple 10K-10K voltage divider. I found that there is always 3.3V at BIII SDA & SCL pins and signals from Arduino are pulled high. Have I done anything wrong?

are you using the Hifiduino code? If so, then it should be connected like this:

I2C connection and level converter hookup

Thanks Corpius

I remember Brian mentioned in Diyaudio that a simple resistor divider will do the job, not necessary to use the level convertor. The problem is why there is 3.3V present on the two pins (SDA & SCL) on BIII.

No you would not use a voltage divider here. That advice was not related to I2C.

You need to read up on I2C, the 3.3V is normal state for an idle bus.

The level shifter for I2C is a good idea, though it's necessity depends on the bus master implementation. Open drain types won''t need it.

I have an Arduino Uno r3 connected via I2C to a Buffalo-III using Hifiduino code without the level converter.
Al seems fine.

I bought a level convertor from China and it works fine. Problem solved.
