/*
use i2cm_out(...) and i2cm_in(...) between calls to i2cm_start(...) and i2cm_stop(...)

typical use(...) 
{
//this is an example of reading the config register of a DS1631
//in this case 'device' is a select number of 0000xxx0

	i2cm_start( );
	
	if( i2cm_out( 0x90 | device ) ) //send write control byte
		return;
	
	else if( i2cm_out( 0xac ) )//send config command byte
		return;
	
	i2cm_start( );//device wants start again to read
	
	if( i2cm_out( 0x91 | device ) ) //send read control byte
		return;
	
	i2cm_in( buf, 1 ); //input the config byte to 'buf'

	i2cm_stop( );
	//device was not busy or failed...
	//set sucsess flag if needed before return
	
} typical use end......

i2cm_out(...) returns true if device did not ack output byte
with mspgcc compiled for optimum code size this is about 256 bytes

  static void __inline__ brief_pause( register unsigned int n )
  {
  __asm__ __volatile__ (
  "1: \n"
  " dec %[n] \n"
  " jne 1b \n" : [n] "+r"(n)
  );
  }
  i want to know how much delay this function produce and how???

  James Newton of MassMind replies: That actually depends on the speed of the processor clock. This code is less than ideal because it does not tie the delay to the clock or to the allowed speed of the I2C interface. The value used when calling "brief_pause" will need to be adjusted by hand to compensate and provide the correct timing. Again, this code should only be used when there is no other alternative: The built in I2C provided by the chip is much preferred.+
