I guess I should give credit where it's due, in that the driver works fine without full error handling for the vast majority of cases. It may just be that the application I'm working on is more sensitive to faults. The docs are fairly sparse on error handling from a programmer's perspective, yes. I've learned more from experience with this chip than from the datasheet! -- Regards, Torin Cooper-Bennun Software Engineer | maxiluxsystems.com
