Ok then I"ll use the i2c-io. I've been trying to stay away from the need to
code in C, but I convinced myself today that i have been fighting it for too
long. So I'm back to the drawing board so to speak, with a number rather
basic things in order to get into the swing of it.
That said:
Which install of Linux would be best to use to build a cross compile
environment. I had a VMWare instance of Fedora Core on XP. However I'm
going to build a new linux box just for this project.
Thakns,
Michael
