  Thank you for answering. I see what you have posted but in that code there are used also other functions (e.g. begin, setSpeed, beginTransmission) of Arduino libraries (wire.h, spark_wiring_i2c.h, spark_wiring.h, spark_wiring_usbserial.h). How can I replace those?

  I am developing a tracking system that contains OMEGA2+, quectel MC60 GSM / GNSS chip. I shared codes on my device. I hope it is useful for someone.

  You mean a MPU-9250?

  I would refer to the Arduino libraries and hookup guides. Porting the code from https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_MPU-9250-DMP_Arduino_Library seems feasible since it has its I2C logic abstracted into one file.

  The hookup guide from https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/mpu-9250-hookup-guide shows that for a basic setup you just need VCC,GND,SCL,SDA (I²C).

  I have some library code here that uses the libonioni2c library for reference.

  Hi there!
  Welcome back to 2-Bullet Tuesday, where we’ll share useful tips and awesome stuff sent in by Omega2 users all around the world. Check out creative projects and tutorials that will supercharge your IoT development!

  Favorite Project

  This week, we really enjoyed Sergey Melehin’s LoFi Twitter Feed display. Sergey used his Omega2 and Arduino Dock 2 to drive an Arduino LCD Keypad shield and display the latest Tweets in his feed.

  The Omega runs a Python script that authenticates with Twitter and grabs the latest Tweets from Sergey’s feed, it then formats them for the LCD screen and sends them to the Arduino Dock microcontroller using I2C. The Arduino Dock microcontroller is flashed with a program that displays up to 30 screens of 32 characters in a loop, allowing Sergey to be up to date with his Twitter feed without having to actually be on Twitter!

  Great work Sergey! We really like how you divided up the work between the Omega and the Arduino Dock microcontroller, and, made use of the Arduino Dock’s headers to reuse your LCD shield!

  Omega Tip

  Ever wanted to have your own captive portal like you see in coffee shops? Learn how with this week’s Tip Video!

  Here is the cheatsheet of how to set up your very own Omega2 captive portal:

  First make sure you’re on the latest Omega firmware:

  oupgrade --latest

  Install the captive portal software:

  opkg update opkg install nodogsplash

  Edit the nodogsplash configuration file /etc/config/nodogsplash and edit the enabled and network options to:

  option enabled 1 option network 'wlan'

  If you want to change the name of Omega’s AP WiFi network, or change the settings so that no password is required, you can follow our Docs article on using the command line to adjust the Omega’s AP.

  Note that if you change your Omega’s AP network to not require a password, it will be insecure and can be accessed by anyone who is in range!

  To check if your captive portal is up, run ndsctl status. This will show several lines, you’re interested in the one with uptime, if it’s there, then your captive portal is up and running.

  And finally, to edit captive portal landing page, edit the following file:

  /etc/nodogsplash/htdocs/splash.html

  Happy hacking!
