I2C Address Shifter for Resolving Conflicts in Multi-Device I2C Networks: Seamlessly manage identical address modules in Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects.
The DFRobot I2C Address Shifter modifies the I2C address of sensors linked to Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other development boards. This module allows identical sensors to run on the same bus by putting it between the host board (such as an Uno R3 or Pi 4) and an I2C sensor. The plug-and-play module has a compact design for simple integration into I2C cascading systems, four switch-selectable addresses, and over 20 extra possibilities via resistor soldering.
Plug-and-Play Hardware Solution
The I2C Address Shifter removes the requirement for software-based port switching, which simplifies system integration. Address conversion takes place entirely within the module, providing compatibility without changing current code or risking I2C timing conflicts.
Flexible Address Configuration
The module provides a wide range of addressing requirements, with four address options accessible via DIP switches and extendable via resistor soldering. This versatility enables users to deploy several identical sensors on a single I2C bus with ease.
Compact and Universal Compatibility
The module's tiny form factor and broad interoperability with I2C sensors make it excellent for space-constrained applications. It integrates smoothly into existing configurations without requiring any further hardware changes.
Applications:
- Sensor Arrays: Using multiple identical sensors (e.g., light, temperature) in IoT or agricultural monitoring systems.
- Robotics: Using redundant TOF sensors on a single I²C bus to enable obstacle avoidance robots.
- Industrial automation: Using address-conflict-free sensor networks to streamline production line setup.
