Setting up the i2c interface for use on the Raspberry Pi....
#############################################################
version 0.2


Hello

This script will help you to set up i2c connectivity on the Raspberry Pi.

As posted by Simon Walters (@cymplecy):

"  Youngsters are coming along and using my ScratchGPIO to control stuff liek the PiGlow but this needs I2C enabling.

Recanatha has instructions http://www.recantha.co.uk/blog/?p=2582
but we could really do with a nice little script to automate the process

Any takers?

Simon  "

I volunteered...


Usage:

	1: Make it executable:
		
		chmod +x pi2c.sh
	
	2: Run it:

		./pi2c.sh

	3: Make things :)


notes:

If you would like to restrict i2c access to a specific group then the following
instructions will need to be followed:

	1: Open /etc/udev/rules.d/99-i2c.rules in a text editor

	2: Locate SUBSYSTEM=="i2c-dev", MODE="0666"

	3: Change to SUBSYSTEM=="i2c-dev", GROUP="<insert group name here>", MODE="0666"
