A bash script is really not the most suitable way to read data from I2C devices, a faster means of managing the data from the devices is really mandatory in order to do calibration, | A bash script is really not the most suitable way to read data from I2C devices, a faster means of managing the data from the devices is really mandatory in order to do calibration, | ||
