Arduino with Gen 6 board

Hi,

I have assembled Mendel (3D printer) using Generation 6 electronics board that has ATMega644A incorporated on it.
I need to use an Arduino Uno board to get these two boards to communicate and currently I am a bit baffled by the I2C communication.
Can anyone help me with this. I am pretty new to all this stuff.

What are you trying to use the Arduino for? Gen6 doesn't normally use one.

I know Gen 6 does not use one but I want to control another device with Arduino and use it for printing.
In short I will be printing with the new device rather than with the conventional extruder.
I just want to know how the SPI protocol works in order to get these two boards talking !!!
