hello. I did not follow the steps from that particular link, because it seemed to me that I had already gotten it all set up: the kernel modules both load up with no problems, there is nothing in my raspi-blacklist.conf (the file exists, but is blank), and I never looked at the dtparam, since i2c-1 showed up in my /dev directory without fail. looking at it now, in the tutorial it says:
dtparam=i2c=on
but in my config.txt it says:
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
if that makes a difference.
Edit: looking into the documentation at https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/device-tree.md#part4.5, i2c is an alias of i2c_arm, so that shouldn't matter at all.
