Using I2C for L3G4200D with KL46Z
I am wanting to use a KL46Z alongside an L3G4200D gyroscope. The gyroscope uses either SPI or I2C communication. I am wanting to use I2C, and was able to find a library for it through MBED that looks like it should work. However, when I try to use the library, I get a problem where it doesn't communicate correctly and the gyroscope does not initialize because the ID cannot be read from it. So, now I am gonna try to take this from a pure learning perspective:
If I want to learn I2C, how do I go about learning I2C to communicate properly between the KL46Z and the L3G4200D? Or better yet, how do I communicate properly between the KL46Z and the L3G4200D using I2C communication?
WOW! I found this code: https://developer.mbed.org/users/shimniok/code/L3G4200D/ That made it really easy to connect properly. I'm gonna dive in and see what the differences are that made this code work.
