Hi Jamie,

Looks like you have a bad connection. Anyway to save you trouble, here is the required document :

;                     Software Implemented I2C Drivers

; These routines allow an 80C51 based microcontroller to drive the I2C bus 
; as a single master. The main program at the end demonstrates writing and 
; reading several types of devices: 

;    PCF8570 256 byte static RAM.
;    PCF8574 8-bit I/O expander.
;    SAA1064 4 digit LED display driver.
