Introduction: Tutorial: How Arduino Control Multiple Same Address Devices by Using TCA9548A I2C Multiplexer
Description:
The TCA9548A I2C Multiplexer Module is to enable to connect devices with the same I2C address (up to 8 same address I2C) hooked up to one microcontroller. The multiplexer acts as a gatekeeper, shuttling the commands to the selected set of I2C pin with your command. The multiplexer itself is on I2C address 0x70 (but can be adjusted from 0x70 to 0x77), simply write a single byte with the desired multiplexed output number to that port, any future I2C packets will get sent to that port. In theory, you could have 8 of these multiplexers on each of 0x70-0x77 addresses in order to control 64 of the same-I2C-addressed-part
