Hi,
Does someone got a simple program to read i2c data from extern sensor on a mangoh yellow.
Because i need it soon and i’m not familair with Legato.
Thanks in advanced!
you can try i2cdetect command and see if it can “see” your sensor
I already did that, and i saw my sensor. but i need to read the data.
I don’t see problem to read mangoh red sensor bmi160 chipid:
root@swi-mdm9x28-wp:~# i2cdetect -y -r 4
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f
00: -- 04 05 06 07 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- UU -- -- -- -- --
20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- UU -- -- -- -- --
40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
50: -- 51 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 68 -- -- -- -- -- -- --
70: -- 71 -- -- -- -- 76 --
root@swi-mdm9x28-wp:~# i2cget -y 4 0x68 0x00
0xd1
With me, that works too. All I need is a simple program to read my data and send it to the data hub. This is because I am not very familiar with Legato.
And a question about the i2cget. Why is the data in hex?
you can use unsandboxed legato application to call i2cget command by system() API:
root@swi-mdm9x28-wp:~# i2cget -y 4 0x68 0x00 > /tmp/test.txt
root@swi-mdm9x28-wp:~# cat /tmp/test.txt
0xd1
BTW, I also see i2cget source code here:
I’m gona try the code you send me, but how can i install it on to my mangoh?
you can port to your unsandboxed helloworld application
I don’t need any .cdef or .adef file? Or do i need to make it myself?
you can see here:
When i try to install and build my app with ctrl + shift + b i get this error.

it seems this function only appear in new legato framework, (at lease I don’t see it in legato 19.2)
You might need to use the latest legato release
I deleted the line of code now it is working 
I was testing the helloworld app.
Now i see it into my apps
But what do i need to set into my cdef and adef. Or can i leave it like this?
if you need to make it unsandboxed, you need to change adef:
sandboxed: false
What do you mean with sandboxed? What is the difference?
you can see here:
Basically if you use sandboxed feature, you cannot use system() API
Ah, thanks and for i2c do i need the sandbox mode? If i understand it well i don’t need it but for sure i ask it
normally i suggest you not to use sandboxed feature during development, that will cost you a lot of abnormal error during development.
Oke, thanks.
Now when i’m trying to install and build my app again i get this errors. Do i need to install something i forgot?
why don’t you just called sytsem(" i2cget -y 4 0x68 0x00 > /tmp/test.txt")
and then you can read the /tmp/test.txt
