gpio i2cdetect

[rricharz]

"gpio i2cdetect"gives the following error message on my Raspbian after the latest upgrades:

Code: Select all

$ gpio i2cdetect
gpio: Unable to find i2cdetect command: No such file or directory

i2cdetect is still available:

Code: Select all

whereis i2cdetect
i2cdetect: /usr/sbin/i2cdetect /usr/share/man/man8/i2cdetect.8.gz

"ì2cdetect -y 1" works as expected.

Where did you get the idea that gpio can call i2cdetect? That's never going to work it's not in the man page for gpio.

Just run man gpio;i2cdetect -y 1 from a command line

I got it from http://wiringpi.com/the-gpio-utility/

OK, it looks like you've found a bug in Gordon's code.

Yes,

Cloning wiringPi as follows

Code: Select all

git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi

and then changing line 59 of gpio/gpio.c to

Code: Select all

#define I2CDETECT "i2cdetect"

fixes the bug. Gordon has confirmed that the fix will be in the next release.
