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;
^

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.

Could you please help me with this. I'm new to the beaglebone Board.

NO ERROR. I suspect to use the digital I/O will require first exporting
those pins from the command line (I'm not a bonescript/node use -- I don't
know if the library is supposed to export stuff, which the Python
Adafruit_BBIO might do)
