So I have been trying to interface a digital compass (Sainsmart 3-Axis Digital Compass IC HMC5883L)*. *In order to do so I have been learning about I2C devices and using Derek Molloy's [Beaglebone: An I2C tutorial - Interfacing to a BMA180 Accelerometer] tutorial. He came to a part where he went into /sys/devices/platform/omap from root. He did this to determine whether or not the device has been hooked up properly as I have been trying to do. Unfortunately, I don't have an omap. Does anyone know why, or if I can get it from somewhere like github.
This is what shows up for me: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ root@beaglebone:/sys/devices/platform# ls alarmtimer omap-mailbox power uevent arm-pmu omap-pcm-audio reg-dummy edma-dma-engine.0 omap_hwspinlock.0 serial8250 nop_usb_xceiv omapfb snd-soc-dummy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also if anybody has any resources on how to use the HMC5883L 3-axis digital compass with Python, that would be much appreciated. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
