    Hello,

    I'm using the eXperimenter board as a target device for an embedded medical device. I want to use the main board DIP switch bank an the two user LED for application testing purposes.

    I can see that there is an I2C character device driver for them (/dev/i2c-2/) but I have no clue about using it. Trying to read from the device (cat /dev/i2c-2) returns a remote i/o error.

    Are there any instructions on how to use that device? Official documentation does not say much about them.

    Thanks,

    Yves McDonald
