Name |  | ### receive()
Examples |  |
    #include <TwoWire.h>

    void setup()
    {
      Wire.begin();        // join i2c bus (address optional for master)
      Serial.begin(9600);  // start serial for output
    }

    void loop()
    {
      Wire.requestFrom(2, 6);    // request 6 bytes from slave device #2

      while(Wire.available())    // slave may send less than requested
      {
        char c = Wire.receive(); // receive a byte as character
        Serial.print(c);         // print the character
      }

      delay(500);
    }
    #include <TwoWire.h>

    void setup()
    {
      Wire.begin(4);                // join i2c bus with address #4
      Wire.onReceive(receiveEvent); // register event
      Serial.begin(9600);           // start serial for output
    }

    void loop()
    {
      delay(100);
    }

    // function that executes whenever data is received from master
    // this function is registered as an event, see setup()
    void receiveEvent(int howMany)
    {
      while(1 < Wire.available()) // loop through all but the last
      {
        char c = Wire.receive(); // receive byte as a character
        Serial.print(c);         // print the character
      }
      int x = Wire.receive();    // receive byte as an integer
      Serial.println(x);         // print the integer
    }
