VEML6040 I2C sensor problem

[nickw]

Hello,

Wondering if anyone has used the Vishay VEML6040 color sensor with I2C interface. I am having trouble reading it and think it might be related to the fact that you need to send a command code byte followed by a read without a stop bit after the command code byte. Here is the format.

StartBit-SlaveAddress-WriteBit-Ack-CommandByte-Ack-StartBit-SlaveAddress-ReadBit-Ack-DataByteL-Ack-DataByteH-Ack-StopBit

Is this possible to do with the built in I2C commands?

that's what they are for

Let me try asking it this way...

Will the built in I2C commands allow for a device which needs a repeated start condition in order to read?
