Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

12C is a type of serial communications format similar to "1-Wire" which allows you to interface with a whole lot of addressable devices like very accurate (0.25C) digital temperature sensors, EEPROM, RTC etc all over the same pair of wires.
If you don't know the terms I'm using then GOOGLE them starting with Interfacing 12C
