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.

Alex
