March 19, 2010 by treymd	I happened across this, since i2c is supposedly limited to only a few meters, this chip is supposed to extend that to 50 meters, allowing you long distance communication between microcontrollers. Hopefully it works, I'll repost my results after I have some. Digikey P/N: 568-1006-5-ND Datasheet: http://ics.nxp.com/products/p82b/datasheet/p82b715.pdf
