Hi Guido: I saw your interesting article [1] about using I2C to talk to an Atmel micro. I haven't looked at your source code yet, but I'm hoping it is GPL. ;) You wrote: > This I2C bus is unfortunately not available on the outside of the PC > (there is no physical connector). That is not always true. Asus boards often have exposed I2C/SMBus pins on the board. At least, both of mine do - it is definitely useful. Also, I'm surprised that you chose to (re)implement a bus master for your project... have you never heard of the lm_sensors project? [2] Among many other things, it has links to hardware which brings I2C out of the PC case - usually by parallel port, but a recent schematic for serial port just popped up on the mailing list too. Drivers for the parallel port hardware are already included in the Linux kernel. Anyway, please check it out. You may even want to join us, I hope... ;) [1] http://linuxfocus.org/English/February2005/article365.shtml [2] http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/ Regards, -- Mark M.
