For the Hercules LaunchPad I had to create a bitbang i2c library first.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I used the High-end timer for that. That takes care that the i2c runs on that peripheral. It doesn&amp;#39;t use processor time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is a slightly more efficient power safe hack&amp;nbsp; &lt;a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://embeddedcomputing.weebly.com/fuel-tank-boosterpack.html" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank"&gt;on the internet&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remove the two pull-up resistors, and replace your two jumpers with 22K pull-down resistors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=19157&amp;AppID=102&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: [AirCare] InTheAir - Week 3: Fuel Tank Testing</title><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/in-the-air-design-challenge/b/blog/posts/aircare-intheair---week-3-fuel-tank-testing</link><pubDate>Wed, 12 Nov 2014 11:19:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:01536ecc-5ee9-4912-a816-c2c760b2ee1b</guid><dc:creator>dwinhold</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Sounds like we all are on the same energy source path!!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=19157&amp;AppID=102&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: [AirCare] InTheAir - Week 3: Fuel Tank Testing</title><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/in-the-air-design-challenge/b/blog/posts/aircare-intheair---week-3-fuel-tank-testing</link><pubDate>Wed, 12 Nov 2014 10:53:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:01536ecc-5ee9-4912-a816-c2c760b2ee1b</guid><dc:creator>tomaja</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;I even chose the same solar panel &lt;span&gt;[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-01536ecc-5ee9-4912-a816-c2c760b2ee1b/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=19157&amp;AppID=102&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: [AirCare] InTheAir - Week 3: Fuel Tank Testing</title><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/in-the-air-design-challenge/b/blog/posts/aircare-intheair---week-3-fuel-tank-testing</link><pubDate>Wed, 12 Nov 2014 10:08:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:01536ecc-5ee9-4912-a816-c2c760b2ee1b</guid><dc:creator>ravi_butani</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Nice post frederick...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am also planning for something similar...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=19157&amp;AppID=102&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
