Hello all,
I have an application where I need to have full-duplex over 100+ slaves. I will only be having 1 master in this application. Right now, I am looking at implementing CAN, SPI, or I2C.
I am leaning more towards I2C because I can use an 8 bit address to address 255 different devices on a single bus. If I have multiple I2C buses, then I think that I can work with a 7-bit addressing scheme. (I will not be needing more then 255 addresses). Additionally, I would be using a I2C line buffer since I have many devices on the bus line. The devices will be placed fairly close to each other. No more then 1 meter from the master.
However, I want to turn to the community to see if anyone might have additional suggestions in implementing something such as this? If I2C is the best protocol to go with or if there is something else out there that I can use?
Thank you
