broken usage example for i2c sharing

[pdgilbert]

I have been trying to compile the Arbiter i2c usage example in rtic-rs/rtic/rtic-sync/src/arbiter.rs. It has some typos which suggest it has never been tested. With some fixes and adjustments for different hals I have made progress but have a problem with an unsatisfied trait bounds for &mut Ens160<ArbiterDevice<'static, I2c<I2C1>>>. I have tried with both release and git versions of rtic-sync and also tried with both stm32f4xx_hal and a version of stm32g4xx_hal that uses embedded-hal-1.0.0. I think the problem is possibly a bug in rtic-sync or elsewhere, but maybe that I am just not bringing the proper trait into scope. Below are results for the git versions using stm32f4xx_hal.

Is this a bug or am I missing something simple?

(This issue is somewhat related to #886 where @perlindgren and @korken89 suggested this example.)

Hi,

The error you are getting is because the trait I2c is the async trait.
You seem to be providing a sync implementation. Hope that helps!

[pdgilbert]

Thanks @korken89. I'm new to many pieces of this, so pretty confused. I think you are suggesting I should

use embedded_hal_async::i2c::I2c;

rather than

use stm32f4xx_hal::i2c::I2c;

If so, that gets me back to all the errors that had me looking for a working example of arbiter with embedded-hal 1.0 and rtic. Is the example in rtic-sync (https://github.com/rtic-rs/rtic/blob/master/rtic-sync/src/arbiter.rs#L276) supposed to use an async I2c trait?

A pointer to a working stm32*-hal arbiter example would be helpful, for me and in documentation. Actually, any working example of embedded-hal 1.0, rtic v2 ,stm32*-hal with shared I2C bus would help me. (I have lots of rtic shared I2C bus examples that do not work after shifting to embedded-hal 1.0.)
