For example, look at drivers/iio/imu/inv_mpu6050/ :) But yes, sensors are a great way to get involved in driver writing, they are usually pretty simple and all they need are to be hooked up to the iio interface. A data sheet is usually needed to determine the units and values the sensors provide, but those should not be hard to come by. good luck! greg k-h _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
