cerial port to I2C??

I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION:

I like to interface the serial port of my PC to a I2C bus. does anyone have a schematic and software for that? thanks advanced.

and another question:

I have to design a master I2C that will command around 100 slaves distributed over 200-307m distance, is there any precautions to consider with such a number of slaves and such distances.

ou are thanks

200-307m

"m" as in meter, millimeter or...?

Well, I2C will not work with 300 meters of distance and 100 slaves. It's not designed for that. It's designed for inter-chip communications on a PCB.
You should look at RS-485 instead.

I totally agree with Mike and add you will need 1/8 load transceivers for it.

1/4 will do for now but Murphy states that you will some day run over 128
