Example with a Si7021 i2c breakout board (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/1376) connected to a i2c master interface.
 
To work out the devices available (assuming i2ctools are installed) run the i2cdetect command from a terminal window.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash" style="font-size:13px">
$ i2cdetect -l
i2c-1  i2c            i2c-ch341-usb at bus 002 device 008    I2C adapter
i2c-0  unknown        SMBus I801 adapter at 4000              N/
</syntaxhighlight>
 
In the example case the temperature sensor is connected to the i2c-ch341-usb device, and it is assumed the user has sufficient permissions to access the device.
 
According to the datasheet, the temperature device uses address 0x40, so create a i2c device using the linux device and address:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="octave" style="font-size:13px">
i2cdev = i2c("/dev/i2c-1", 0x40)
</syntaxhighlight>
 
To read  the temperature, register 0xF3 must be addressed and read (2 bytes of data):
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="octave" style="font-size:13px">
TEMP_MEASURE_NOHOLD = hex2dec("F3");
fwrite (i2cdev, uint8([TEMP_MEASURE_NOHOLD]));
pause (0.02);
data = fread (i2cdev, 3);
</syntaxhighlight>
 
The data must be converted to a deg K value by making  16 bit number of the value and masking out unused bits.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="octave" style="font-size:13px">
value = uint16(data(1))*256 + uint16(data(2));
value = bitand (value, hex2dec("FFFC"));
temp_Code = double(value);
</syntaxhighlight>
 
Now convert the temperature to degrees C and display:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="octave" style="font-size:13px">
C = (175.72*temp_Code/65536)-46.85;
printf ("temperature read %f C\n", C);
</syntaxhighlight>
