Adafruit_FRAM_I2C fram = Adafruit_FRAM_I2C();Then when you begin(), pass in the i2c address. The default is 0x50 so if you don't put any value in the default is used.
fram.begin(0x53)for example.
fram.write8(address, byte-value);to write an 8-bit value to the address location
fram.read8(address);which returns a byte reading.

It's easy to use the I2C FRAM Breakout with CircuitPython and the Adafruit CircuitPython FRAM library.
First we'll wire up the I2C FRAM Breakout to a microcontroller, as was shown in the Arduino Test page.
Here is an example of wiring the breakout to a Feather M0 Basic:
If you'd like to use the hardware write protection, connect another GPIO to the sensor's WP pad, like so:
You'll need to install the Adafruit CircuitPython FRAM library on your CircuitPython board.
First make sure you are running the latest version of Adafruit CircuitPython for your board.
Next you'll need to install the necessary libraries to use the hardware--carefully follow the steps to find and install these libraries from Adafruit's CircuitPython library bundle. Our CircuitPython starter guide has a great page on how to install the library bundle.
For non-express boards like the Trinket M0 or Gemma M0, you'll need to manually install the necessary libraries from the bundle:
Before continuing make sure your board's lib folder or root filesystem has the adafruit_fram.mpy, and adafruit_bus_device files and folders copied over.
Next connect to the board's serial REPL so you are at the CircuitPython >>>
prompt.
To demonstrate the usage of the breakout we'll initialize it, write data to the FRAM, and read that data from the board's Python REPL.
Run the following code to import the necessary modules and initialize the SPI connection with the breakout:
import board import digitalio import adafruit_fram i2c = board.I2C() fram = adafruit_fram.FRAM_I2C(i2c)
import board import digitalio import adafruit_fram i2c = board.I2C() fram = adafruit_fram.FRAM_I2C(i2c)
Or, if you're using the hardware write protection:
import board import digitalio import adafruit_fram i2c = board.I2C() wp = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.D6) fram = adafruit_fram.FRAM_I2C(i2c, wp_pin=wp)
import board import digitalio import adafruit_fram i2c = board.I2C() wp = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.D6) fram = adafruit_fram.FRAM_I2C(i2c, wp_pin=wp)
Now you can write or read to any address locations:
Reading the FRAM returns a bytearray. To get a "raw" value, use the index of the value's location. Some various ways to get values are as such:
