LSM303 Compass board small

So I got the sparkfun LSM303 breakout board working last night. Trouble is the I2C bus needs not higher than 1.8v logic levels to work properly.

 

The level shifter is capable of doing this, but it needs a 1.8v supply to operate, hence the white wire tapping it off the breakout board.

 

(The two yellow wires are due to the library pinout of the arduino nano board being bad)
