LSM9DS0 library - import from arduino

Hello there,

I'm trying to import LSM9DS0 library from arduino to FRDM K64F mbed platform but I'm facing issues with that. I tried to import the following code:

uint8_t I2CreadByte(uint8_t address, uint8_t subAddress)
{
     uint8_t data; // `data` will store the register data	 
     Wire.beginTransmission(address);         // Initialize the Tx buffer
     Wire.write(subAddress);	                 // Put slave register address in Tx buffer 
     Wire.endTransmission(false);             // Send the Tx buffer, but send a restart to keep connection alive
     Wire.requestFrom(address, (uint8_t) 1);  // Read one byte from slave register address 
    data = Wire.read();                      // Fill Rx buffer with result
    return data;                             // Return data read from slave register
}

I translated into mbed as follows:

uint8_t I2CreadByte(uint8_t address, uint8_t subAddress)
{
        char output = 0xff;
	int wr = i2c.write(address << 1, (const char*)&subAddress, 1); // arduino addressing is 7-bit 
	int rd = i2c.read(address << 1, &output, 1);
        return output;
}

The write is ok and return success (wr = 0) while the read is not working properly (rd=1)!

What is wrong with my translated code?

PS: the arduino library can be found here https://github.com/sparkfun/LSM9DS0_Breakout/tree/master/Libraries/Arduino/SFE_LSM9DS0

how stupid I'm, I forgot to set the repeated flag !

the following code is working:

uint8_t I2CreadByte(uint8_t address, uint8_t subAddress)
{
        char output = 0xff;
    int wr = i2c.write(address << 1, (const char*)&subAddress, 1, 1); // arduino addressing is 7-bit 
    int rd = i2c.read(address << 1, &output, 1, 0);
        return output;
}

I found your question today.

I'm interested in this project. Could you publish your project on the web?
