Prerequisites: |
|---|
| 5 |
Be sure to build and install the lm-sensors userspace first. This package |
|---|
| 6 |
requires one of the header files from that. |

Q: It's throwing exceptions, nothing works, what's wrong? |

A1: You need write permissions to the i2c-dev devices. Try running as root. |
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 |
A2: Addresses in Linux/I2C are the most-sig 7 bits, right-justified. E.g. |
|---|
| 24 |
if your device uses address 0xc0 to write and 0xc1 to read, then use |
|---|
| 25 |
address 0x60 with this module. |
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 |
A3: Some other kernel driver has claimed that I2C address. Unload it first. |
