Hey Martin,

Yes indeed!  Blimey.

So I added the localhost ip and changed the i2c port from 1 (rev2 boards)
to 0 (rev1) on this line:
 sprintf(filename, "/dev/i2c-0");
Reinstalled libi2c-dev and boom - off it went.  Wow.

Still getting some errors though wondering if these are the same ones you
previously mentioned with the crc (PEC) checks not working correctly? :

Read failed (5)
>> Input/output error <<
D6T_checkPEC says 0x8F
D6T_checkPEC says 0x52
182 140 148 154 156 160 160 162 162 159 166 173 170 172 176 173 172 <0x52>
d6t44l 182 140 148 154 156 160 160 162 162 159 166 173 170 172 176 173 172


Data turning up in Pd and I'm quite happy (i.e. a bit delirious:)

Been quite an adventure with all this the last few weeks/month - soldering
those tiny pins was well tricky, as was finding some housings!! Also built
a couple of custom RPi images as minimal as poss and got quite a lot more
oomph out of the cpu.  Dipped my toes into C too which is cool - you know I
had to search around how to run a C program - './' dur.

Would've been screwed without that C file of yours so thank you Martin.

Julian
