Erik what do I need here as an address? Is it the slave address? Also I if shit I2ADR = address <<1; //wouldn't it shift/change the address value?
I2ADR = 0x00; // configure I2C address
I2ADR = address << 1;

What about the general call bit? What is that mean. I am going through the p89v66x datasheet in the mean time.

Thanks
