Will the LM75 driver still work with the LM77? Is the only difference the encoding of the temperature values? If so, then it looked like a simple chip specific shift could be added to the FROM_REG and TO_REG macros to make the same driver work for both chips. But I haven't looked into the code in detail or the datasheet for the chips... :v) Jean Delvare wrote: >Hi all, > >As a consequence of the discovery that the LM77 is not compatible with >the LM75, I have been reworking the LM75 detection process in both >sensors-detect (yesterday) and the lm75 driver (today).
