Const Sda - Pin 2 Const SCL - Pin 7 : Char Char

This Arduino code implements an I2C sniffer that samples the SDA and SCL pins of an I2C bus. It captures one set of data when the SDA line goes low, stores it in an array, and then dumps the sampled data to the serial port in a formatted way for analysis. The sampling window can be adjusted but 300 samples is enough to catch one byte sent at 100kbps. The code provides basic signal monitoring but a logic analyzer would be needed for more precise timing analysis.

/** DESCRIPTION **/
/*******************************************************
this code runs a "one-shot" capture, meaning that
it only captures data once and then dumps it to the
serial port.

it starts capturing when it detects the SDA line has
gone low. it does not check the SCL line (as a proper
start condition detector would). 

you can adjust the capture window to suit you needs.
a value of 300 is long enough to catch one byte sent
over i2c at the 100 kbit/s standard rate. the sample
data is good enough to show you the sequence of events,
but little else.

if you need very specific, time-aligned data, you should
use a logic analyzer or sampling oscilloscope.
