Beaglebone Black/Bacon Cape i2c issue

[chris....@sbcglobal.net]

I have set up a Beaglebone Black with the latest Debian download. A circuitco Bacon Cape is mounted.

I am attempting to read the 3-axis accelerometer data via i2c (p9_19,20) using existing code downloaded from baconcapelabs (see code below):

 

var b = require('bonescript'); // Read BoneScript library

var port = '/dev/i2c-2';

var address = 0x1c;

b.i2cOpen(port, address, {}, onI2C);    // Open I2C port 

b.i2cWriteBytes(port, 0x2a, [0x00]); // Set STANDBY mode

b.i2cWriteBytes(port, 0x0e, [0x00]); // Set scale to 2G

b.i2cWriteBytes(port, 0x2a, [0x01]); // Set ACTIVE mode

setInterval(readA, 200); // Call readA() every 200ms

 

function onI2C() {

}

 

function readA() {

 b.i2cReadBytes(port, 1, 6, onReadBytes);

}

 

function onReadBytes(x) {

 if(x.event == 'callback') { var X = convertToG(x.res[0]); // First byte is X

                             var Y = convertToG(x.res[2]); // Third byte is Y

                             var Z = convertToG(x.res[4]); // Fifth byte is Z

 console.log('X: ' + X + ' Y: ' + Y + ' Z: ' + Z);

 }

}

function convertToG(x) {

 if(x >= 128) x = -((x^0xFF)+1); // Get two's complement

 x = x / 64; // Scale to G

 x = x.toFixed(2); // Limit decimal places

 return(x);

}

 

When I run this javascript code on Cloud9 IDE, I receive the following error:

 

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/bonescript/src/iic.js:15

    if (m.ports[args.port[0]].path) path = m.ports[args.port[0]].path;

                             ^

  at Timer.listOnTimeout (timers.js:214:5)

 

Changing the i2c channel to i2c-1 allows me to get past this error (had seen that bonescript naming scheme different); however, “x.event” is now undefined upon function onReadBytes.

 

SSH over USB using i2c tools indicates i2c2 acting as expected.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.
