I2C is a bus, what means you should be able to simply tap the 2 wires of the existing I2C and connect to the chip(pin 7, 10). Another 2 wires for power (pin 5, 14) - 1 mA is pretty low consumption - and some birds food (Ca, Cb) and a drop of cyanide glue to stick the chip somewhere well away from magnetic interference (metal and "high" electric current). That's it. Some driver to read out the chip for the ones who like it the pretty way.. ;-) _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
