Solving I2C Address Conflicts - TCA9548A I2C Multiplexer

[@MrGeekGamer]

This is something I have never seen addressed (no pun intended) elsewhere when discussing i2c devices.

[@privatepeewee6402]

I'm getting mixed signals, how can you post a pun and state no pun intended. J.k. it was kinda funny :)

[@Coolarj10]

Every time I see a topic made by DroneBot Workshop, I always rest easy knowing I'm going to find out exactly what I need to know!

Sir, I really want to thank you for this video. Really good detailed easy to understand description. Highly appreciated. As for a beginner like me, I can not value ur content high enough.

[@maybornelectronics7944]

DONT HAVE ENOUGH WORDS TO APPRECIATE THE WAY YOU EXPLAIN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[@jeefmeen3428]

Great channel! Thank you for your work and your shared knowledge. Your clear and clear speech makes it possible to understand your explanations for non-English speakers. Thx.

[@BobFeigl]

Thank you for this content. I mentioned in your other single oled temp/humid sensor video but: If you get a NAN value displaying on one screen, you need to add an additional 2000 ms delay in the code. Pulling both values quickly doesn't work with these temp/humid sensors. They can only be polled once every 2 seconds. Adding that 2 second delay in between both reads fixes the NAN issue.

Good morning sir :-) I am Praveen Prabhu, persuing my B.E. in EEE in INDIA, Karnataka, Banglore. I watch and enjoy all of your videos. Your videos are in detail so I learnt a lot and am improvising my projects by using additional displays and sensors. I get inspired to do some thing watching your video. I humbly Thank You for making such beautiful and knowledge videos and I always will aspire to become like you.

Thanks for this great video, I'm so green to all of this, but you're video just explained enough for me to get my TCA9548A. I was worried I would have to re-write other people's imported libraries, but this is a game changer for me! Thank-you :-)

Hello Bill! As an liberal arts student who studied art history and web design, I find your videos easy to follow! Thanks for your neat organization of information! I appreciate your attention to details!

[@dr.kerstin-evelynevoigt5061]

Every time a great pleasure to follow your contributions. I am a bit disappointed that adafruit does not mention their own mux device in the description of the numerical potentiometers DS3502. I thought that I have to use two arduinos, because I have to setup something with 5 potis until I found your workshop. Thanks again.

[@RagaiMeena]

Great video. Would you please mind guiding me through a solution to an I2C issue? If I want to add a distance extender to an I2C bus, where would it be added : between the master and the multiplexer, or between the multiplexer and the sensor? Thank you

[@Tilt32]

This problem should get much more attention... how many hours i wasted before noticing my sensors all have the same hardwired I2C adresses 😢

[@hugbearsx4]

Excellent teaching. Thank you for your effort!

[@WeirdSide]

Hey! would it be possible to use a cd4051 to hook up the data or clock from the arduino to each slave device, and use that to switch between them? Thanks for the help!

[@yfhenkes7179]

These videos are so good, thanks!!

[@mfeldheim]

Love your simple, yet detailed videos. I learn something new every episode. One thing I personally find a bit annoying are the many repetitions of information and words in the clips I've seen so far. For example I think it's not necessary to address the device with its full name every time. This would also shorten the videos quite a bit.

[@electronic7979]

Helpful information. İ like your video

[@disparky]

How about reading several encoders attached a single I2C device? Is it possible? Also sending data back to the I2C device to set the encoders to certain values.

[@MadLabZ]

Always worth watching. Thanks!!!

[@ianmccullough7294]

I think you could also do this with one (or more) 74LS125 (a tristate buffer) and GPIO to proverbially 'connect and disconnect' devices from the bus. This will consume GPIO pins for enabling, so it's not as elegant as the TCA9548A, but it should work, no? On the software side, it seems like this would be roughly the same. I haven't tried it, but conceptually it seems like it should work, no?

[@egrabhishek]

Thank you for this awesome video. I haven't tried it yet but it seems like it will work. Will provide my results here soon. Have a great day ahead 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@simonedelgatto6136]

Great video. I do have a question though. Why add the resistors as shown in your wiring diagram? Also, what resistors are those so I can purchase them? I am using an ELEG Mega 2560 board on this project and pulling from the 5V pin for this module with multiple OLED displays.

[@marvinsernande9790]

[@RCIBStudio]

Why the SDA and SCL are connected to Analog PIN4 and PIN5 and not to SDA and SCL from arduino? From the given code how did you assign the PIN4 and PIN5 as an alternative SDA and SCL (i cannot see any code for assigning or using the PIN4 and PIN5).... i am a beginner ... please explain.. TIA

I have a query, How do i get inputs from multiple MPU6050, i tried with it but it seems to display values that is in the max number of value in TCA like if i add 4 MPUs in ports (0,1,2 and 3) then the data is showing only one MPU (in TCA 3) for all values, even for the other MPU code

[@taranagnew436]

what i2c devices have quiic connectors?

[@ramav2578]

Any chance you could help me. Ive followed this project closely but I am wondering how you would use 2 seperate temperature sensors ( Im using two DS18B20) to display to each screen instead of one sensor to a single OLED screen. I have the project working but it scrolls between temp sensors and I would like each screen to stay static on a given temp sensor. any help you could give a fellow Canuck would be appreciated.

[@thedude5-6]

Can you do a video on connecting and coding multiple 4 to 1 multiplexers?

[@vladimirmalic]

Great video. Very useful.

[@_PathOfExile]

i solve this problem by making switch relay, simply i designed address giver circuit that allows the arduino to select which device going to be connected to the I2C on demand.

[@gpc-systemcom]

Excellent, many thanks

[@nickhuynh6321]

i wonder how fast the multiplexer can switch ...

[@RoamingAdhocrat]

Great video! Does it matter where on the I2C wires you attach to 5V via a resistor? Suppose the peripherals are a few metres from the multiplexer and in some cramped corner - does the 5V need to be fed to the I2C wires at the peripheral end or can it be fed in right next to the multiplexer?(If so it'd be simpler to just wire the resistors across the multiplexer itself, but if that was the case, they'd be built into the multiplexer itself probably)

great video as always! if the pins are outputs, is there a way to read multiple sensors through the bus and display on one display? looking for a way to connect 5-6 thermocouples without having an arduino or ideally an ESP32 for each one or two just to get the readings to one display

[@chistompso8754]

Could somebody explain what the purpose of the 4 resistors is? It seems (on the surface anyway) that if you deleted those, this set-up would still work. I'm guessing it has something to do with keeping the signal clean? (Obviously I'm not an EE)

[@wayland7150]

The transistors in the I2C only pull down to ground. It needs something to pull it up to +3.3v when the transistors are not active. Think of the resistors like a spring and the transistors when active pull down but when not active the spring pulls up.

[@TheEmbeddedHobbyist]

Have you tried to bit-bang your own master i2c code, it's not that hard and gives a great feeling of satisfaction when it works.

Hey were you a professor at Humber college back in 1998-2000?

[@srikanth5832]

Excellent explanation sir, can you do one video on SPI bus how to connect more than one SPI devices to Arduino.

[@tianyilim4674]

well, you wire up the second SPI device's CS/SS pin to another GPIO pin on the Arduino. The other pins (MISO, MOSI, SCK) are shared. Then when you want to communicate with a certain device, then you pull the respective CS line LOW.

Hang on. "The first slave has an address of 0x28." Yes but where did that "0x28" come from? Why is it 0x28? Did it decide that itself? Was it told that by someone at some time? Does it come with that address from the factory? Who decides which devices will be 0x28, and which will be 0x29, etc? How is this not a gigantic problem?
