Reading the values off light sensors or more specifically in our case, Analog to Digital Convertors (ADC/ADS) is really trivial with the use of already available modules like Adafruit_Blinka or RPI.GPIO. But this takes away the understanding of how you would actually interact with a I2C device and the magic that happens under the hood. This post serves to demystify some of the magic by looking what exactly are the bytes that are we are sending to these I2C devices.

As to how we will actually send the bytes to the I2C register would probably deserve another write-up of its own

My experience with the M1 Chip has been awesome, seeing how much more efficient the battery is and how much faster my builds are. But it is these rare (debatable) incompatiblity issues that sometimes I wish I have stucked with a PC.
