With multiple sensors on an I2C Bus, it is very easy to run into the dreaded fixed address issue.

With a multiplexer this problem can be overcome. The multiplexer will also allow longer bus runs because only one channel has data on it at a time.

Interesting. I would need one of these to try. Could someone in the EU send me a unit? I am working right now in openplotter-i2c v3 and I do not want to wait some weeks for it Angel
