[time-nuts] TruePosition on the Arduino

[Chris Albertson]

Yes,   It is easy if you have an Arduino handy.  Write a scratch to
try  EVERY address one at a time.  Print the currently attempted
address top the screen

In fact there is a pre-written sketch in the IDE's I2C examples
folder.  You can run that and it will report what it finds.  It just
tries reads on every possible address.
