Hello music lovers,
I've been reading up on arduino control hoping to eventually set that
up with my dual-mono Buffalos. This leads to further reading on the I2C
communication protocol.
It seems that arduino control would be similar as just using one Buffalo,
but the I2C bus has to be daisy-chained adding the arduino, after it's
unique address had been set.
I'm thinking the firmware on the controlling Buffalo might need a change to
accomodate this setup? Then again, maybe not. I'm still reading up on the
I2C protocol......
Cheers,
/Mike

No, you simply remove the firmware. There can be only 1 I2C master, if you want to use your own microprocessor removal of the firmware chip is required.

Thanks, LeonvB.
So the arduino becomes the 'master' and each buffalo in the dual-mono are slaves
as it were. Then that means the contolling logic formally in the Buffalo's firmware
is now integrated into the Arduino master?
More reading on the arduino code is my next job.
Thanks,
/Mike

Thanks,
/Mike Yes. You also add the Address jumper on one of the Buffalos, so they each have their own I2C address.

Awesome. Thanks Brian. I'm bookmarking many a tutorial and
reading others now. That's what I also love about this - always
the new learning.
Cheers and thanks again for such great products!
