I think "i2c_read()" can only be used by I2C master device to read data from slave device.

Is this answer correct?

Hello,

I agree that it is a bit unintuitive, but you can use this API as an I2C slave to read data from the I2C master as well.

In the param description of "i2c_read", the 4th param "addr" is the target i2c device address. 

Only a slave device has i2c address.

If a slave device uses "i2c_read" to read, what address should we use?

[Edvin]

That's a good point. I just thought it would since the description didn't specify I2C master, but I see that it uses the "controller" and "device" terminology. 

I contacted the devacademy team, and I believe they updated the question already.

Thank you for reporting!

Best regards,

Edvin
