Hi, I am new to the list. I have written a utility server based on the code in i2cset and i2cget and some socket code from Stevens, and I would a utility like it to become part of the official tree. It is a socket server, launched like this: i2cserver I2Cbus I2Cdeviceaddress TCPportno which then responds to ASCII commands via the socket such as i2cset 0x00 0xff or i2cget 0x13 b Because the binary is only launched once and the device only has to be opened once, it is much faster than issuing individual i2cset and i2cget commands. This is especially useful when used with say node.js (or any language / shell) than does not have an I2C library built in. I would be happy to send the C source and a sample shell script to anybody on the list. I am not by inclination a C programmer. and if this became part of the official tree it would need someone else to maintain it. My current use case is Raspberry PI + node.js (or Tcl) and MCP23017 chips Dave Joubert -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-i2c" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
