As part of the home solar PV and hot water project, we are now using an IOIO board with an android tablet to process the sensor data and upload it to our online reporting website. The code below is used to get the sensor data from the TSL2561 digital luminosity/lux / light sensor via the I2C interface. The sensor was sourced from http://www.adafruit.com/products/439

In the main class define the TwiMaster interface.

private TwiMaster twi;

In the setup() code inside the Looper class add

twi = ioio_.openTwiMaster(0, TwiMaster.Rate.RATE_100KHz, false);

The 0 is the port which you are using for the TwiMaster

Next, initialise the sensor with

InitTSL2561(0x39, twi);

0x39 is the address of the sensor. The initialisation code is shown in the functions below.

Inside the loop() you can use this code to obtain the sensor value

int lightsensors[] = ReadTSL2561(0x39);
int visible = lightsensors[0];
int irlight = lightsensors[1];

The code below are the functions which initialise the sensor and also get the sensor values

// light sensor
	    
	    public boolean InitTSL2561(int address, TwiMaster port) {
	    	byte[] request_on = new byte[] { 0x0A };
