Dear PiFace Team,

I think I have the hwclock working fine, but I don't seem to have access to the temp sensor. I also don't see the temp sensor described in your install guide, does it need an init script separate from the hwclock?

I was trying to access the temp sensor using instructions from this site...

...they tell me to use i2cget, but that seems to fail on the given address:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo i2cget -y 1 0x6F
Error: Could not set address to 0x6f: Device or resource busy
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo i2cget -y 1 0x4F
Error: Read failed

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo hwclock -r

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo i2cdetect -y 1
