Yes, i did. I was able to get the addresses ๐
My concern now is the next step which says:
— First, you need to open the I2C bus device file, as follows;
char filename[20];
sprintf(filename, “/dev/i2c-%d”, 1);
file = open(filename, O_RDWR);
if (file<0) {
printf(“Unable to open I2C bus!”);
exit(1);
}
How do I exactly do this? shall i type it on lxterminal? or make file. and the codes are “C”.. so is there a need to install cmake? Please help me understand, thank you.
