Hello BBB Community! I am new to the BeagleBone Black and embedded Linux, although I am a seasoned C++ programmer and am generally proficient in Unix (POSIX or not) and its shells. However, I know next to nothing about electronics, so hardware is my weak point. Having said that, here is my situation:
o I recently bought a (1) BeagleBone Black revision C, and a (2) Weather Cape revision B. o I'm powering the BBB through the 5 V power connection. o I'm using an Ethernet cable to ssh to it. o I am running Debian Jessie on it (12/27 build). o I can see the weather cape when I catenate the cape manager slots. o I am now trying to read the weather cape sensor readings using the sample shell code snippet at http://elinux.org/CircuitCo:BeagleBone_Weather#Getting_Started where it says for sensor in /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/*/*_input; do echo -n "$(basename $sensor): "; cat $sensor; done However, these "*_input" files do not exist for me, and a find exec on them doesn't show anything. So I'm thinking that there are at least 2 possibilities I am facing: o In Debian Jessie these "*_input" device files do not exist anymore. There is no easy way anymore to read the weather sensor values this way in Debian Jessie. o There is something wrong with my hardware setup. I've Googled on this to the point where I think I now need to raise this question myself. Would anyone who has an answer to the above help this poor soul? Much thanks in advance.
