How to get a frame from MLX90640 via I2C read

Post by swun »

I just got a MLX90640 breakout board and connected to a National Instruments I2C USB interface.
I'd like to send a I2C read and get a frame that I could parse.
However, when I do a read of address 33 all I get is gibberish without a beginning and end.
No matter what the size of my read I get "random" words.
I tried to read the I2C driver that people normally use on their arduino and Rpi projects, but, eventually got lost in them.
Who is the hero who has done this before? :)
Do I need to set some bit to change to some frame mode?
