I2C clock stretch timeout

It's important for the I2C clock stretch timeout to have the right value before issuing requests to a I2C-HAT, cd to 'node_modules/raspihats' and run the following command to set the right clock stretch timeout:

$ sudo npm run i2c_clks_timeout

I2C-HAT usage example

var raspihats = require('raspihats');
var DI6acDQ6rly = raspihats.i2cHats.DI6acDQ6rly;
 
var b = new DI6acDQ6rly(0x60);
 
// All the following methods will issue a request and get a response from the board over the I2C bus.
b.getName();                // reads board name
b.getFirmwareVersion();     // reads firmware version
//b.reset();                  // resets the board, wait at least 1ms after reset before issuing another request
b.getStatus();              // reads status word, bits [0: power on reset, 1: software reset, 2: watchdog reset]
 
// Digital Inputs
b.DI.getValue();            // read all digital input channels
b.DI.getChannel(0);         // read single digital input channel
 
// Digital Outputs
b.DQ.setValue(0x02);        // write all digital output channels
b.DQ.setChannel(0, true);   // write single digital output channel
 
b.DQ.getValue();            // read all digital output channels
b.DQ.getChannel(0);         // read single digital output channel
