How to send commands to a PIC16F1503 via I2C using C# and UWP?

Hi folks,

I want to port the following maker https://github.com/pimoroni/pantilt-hat of a https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/pan-tilt-hat to C#. I want to use it under the hood of an UWP app I'm currently writing.

 

But I'm really new to this topic and I do not understand how to send commands using I2C and the Windows.Devices.I2c package.

 

I tried e.g.:

 

 private void WriteByte(byte command, byte[] data)
{
    data.ToList().Insert(0, command);
    data.ToArray();
    pic16f1503.Write(data);

    // OR
    pic16f1503.Write(command);
    pic16f1503.Write(data);
}

 

But nothing seems to work as I expect. Do I have to "tick" the clock by hand? I guess not.

 

I'm really thankful for each helping tipp. Thanks!

    perhaps try something like that:

    byte[] I2CWriteBuffer = new byte[] {"private const byte"};
    pic16f1503.Write(I2CWriteBuffer);
