With reference from http://www.gammon.com.au/i2c I tried the example there. However I am getting the wrong response and readings. At startup the Master will request for slave address. I should get a reading of "8" but I don't get it. Subsequently, A0 on the slave is connected to a miniature solar panel, that I have tested and it is working, however I keep getting a value -1 from it. No doubt I did modify a little bit to suit my inputs not sure if what I did affected the program.

This is the master code:

    #include <Wire.h>

const int slaveAddressA = 8;


enum {
  cmd_slaveAddress = 1,
  cmd_read_A0 = 2,
  cmd_read_A1 = 3
};

void sendCommand_toSlaveA (const byte cmd, const int responseSize)
{
  Wire.beginTransmission(slaveAddressA);
  Wire.write(cmd);
  Wire.endTransmission();

  Wire.requestFrom(slaveAddressA, responseSize);
}

void setup() {
  
  Wire.begin();
  Serial.begin(9600);

  sendCommand_toSlaveA(cmd_slaveAddress, 1);

  if(Wire.available())
    {
     Serial.print ("Slave address is: ");
     Serial.println (Wire.read (), DEC);
    }
  else
    {
     Serial.println ("No response to slave address request");
    }
  
  
}

void startupTest() {
  Wire.beginTransmission(slaveAddressA);
  
}


void loop() {

  int val;

  sendCommand_toSlaveA(cmd_read_A0, 2);
  val = Wire.read();
  val <<= 8;
  val |= Wire.read();
  Serial.print("Value of A0: ");
  Serial.println(val, DEC);

  delay(500);
  
  
  
}

This is the slave code:

#include <Wire.h>

const byte my_address = 8;

enum{
  cmd_address = 1,
  cmd_read_A0 = 2,
  cmd_read_A1 = 3
};

char command;

void setup() {

  command = 0;
  
  pinMode (A0, INPUT);
  digitalWrite (A0, LOW);  // disable pull-up
  pinMode (A1, INPUT);
  digitalWrite (A1, LOW);  // disable pull-up

  Serial.begin(9600);

  Wire.begin (my_address);
  Wire.onReceive (receiveEvent);  // interrupt handler for incoming messages
  Wire.onRequest (requestEvent);  // interrupt handler for when data is wanted
}

void loop(){
  //everything is done using interrupts
}

void receiveEvent(int howMany)
{
  command = Wire.read();
}

void sendSensor (const byte which)
{
  int val = analogRead (which);
  byte buf [2];
  
    buf [0] = val >> 8;
    buf [1] = val & 0xFF;
    Wire.write (buf, 2);
}

void requestEvent ()
{
  switch (command)
  {
    case cmd_address: Wire.write(0x55); break;   // send slave address
    case cmd_read_A0: sendSensor(A0);   break;   // send A0 value
    case cmd_read_A1: sendSensor(A1);   break;   // send A1 value
    
   }  
  
}  

Also I'm wondering if I have to add a "Wire.begin(8);" at the slave program setup. ---------------------------I would like to know what did I do wrongly?

UPDATE: The 2 boards are now communicating with one another. However, requested address gives a '85' instead of an '8'. As for input A0, for example it should show '700' with a little bit of variant, but now it shows a repeated pattern of e.g '0 0 0 400 500 800 1040 1040 1040 800 500 400 0 0 0'
