Hi all,
First time posting, so forgive me if this is in the wrong category.

Me and a colleague are working on a system to solve a rubik's cube.

Our planned setup for the vision system is to have one BBB and webcam per 
face.
These will perform basic image analysis to determine the color arrangement 
of each face, and then send the processed information (no more than 9 
chars) to another, central BBB which will generate the solution.
So overall, six BBBs talking to another, central BBB.

Our opinion was that I2C would be the best place to start, because the six 
image processing BBBs are essentially slave devices.
The central BBB would behave as the master, reading 9 bytes from each slave 
BBB.
Also it would eliminate the need for routers or large numbers of cables. 
They could all be on one I2C network with different addresses.


However I have not yet found any forum posts or wiki pages about this 
(Probably just because I'm new and don't know where to look!)

So, firstly, thanks for reading this far.

*Secondly, I would like to ask/put up for discussion: *

   - Is using I2C to communicate *between *BBBs in a master/slave manner 
   possible?
   - If so, where can I find resources about configuring a BBB as a slave 
   device? 
   (Setting the I2C slave address, specifying register addresses and so on)

Thanks in advance,

Robin.
