There is one property that is only for to I2Cslave. Post your code here or check your initialize code.

int address = 0x68;
uint clockRateHz = 100_000;
I2cController controller = I2cController.FromName(SC20260.I2cBus.I2c1); 
I2cConnectionSettings settings = new I2cConnectionSettings(address >> 1, I2cAddressFormat.SevenBit, clockRateHz);
I2cDevice device = controller.GetDevice(settings);
...
byte SetGetReg(byte addr, byte val)
{
  byte[] outBuffer = new byte[] { addr, val };
  byte[] inBuffer = new byte[1];
  int transferred = 0;
  try
  {
    transferred = this.device.WriteReadPartial(outBuffer, inBuffer).BytesTransferred;
  }
  catch (Exception ex)
  {
    Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message);
  }
  if (transferred != 3)
    return 1;
  else
    return 0;
}

I was able to reproduce it.

I have checked library source, we added this to prevent “WriteReadPartial” in master mode, trying to remember why, there should be a reason.

If you know how to add an external source, just add i2c as external source instead of nuget, and remove those code.

Or, you can wait for us done few other thing.
