That has definitely gotten me one step closer, thank you.
After using that command i typed
cat /sys/devices/platform/bone_capemgr/slots
and got this result
0: PF---- -1
1: PF---- -1
2: PF---- -1
3: PF---- -1
4: P-O-L- 0 Override Board Name,00A0,Override Manuf,cape-universaln
5: P-O-L- 1 Override Board Name,00A0,Override Manuf,BB-ADC
Now the next step in the instructions that i've found says that I should search the /sys/ directory for files with "ain" in the name
find /sys/ -iname "ain*"
this results in 0 files being found.
I guess the newer kernels don't use "ain" files for reporting the inputs. Once again my googlefu has failed to return a useful result.
Anyone have any ideas on where exactly I find the data coming in the inputs?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
