I actually attempted to use the I2C port first with little success, so i went to the SPI ports and had it working just fine... No guarantees i didnt have any errors, we all make some, but i triple checked the I2C and couldnt debug the problem. at the same time i didnt fuss to much about it considering that i still had it functioning...
