What will be the output of this code snippet using smbus2 if the device at address 0x50 returns 0xAB for register 0x01?
from smbus2 import SMBus
with SMBus(1) as bus:
    data = bus.read_byte_data(0x50, 0x01)
    print(hex(data))
A0xab
B0x50
C1
DError: Device not found
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand read_byte_data behavior

    The method reads a byte from the specified register of the device and returns it as an integer.
  2. Step 2: Convert returned byte to hex string

    Printing with hex() converts the integer 0xAB to string '0xab'.
  3. Final Answer:

    0xab -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    read_byte_data returns byte value = 0xab [OK]
Quick Trick: read_byte_data returns int; hex() converts to hex string [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Expecting device address as output
  • Confusing register number with data
  • Assuming runtime error without device
