Mehrere Geräte an einem Bus betreiben

The real power of I2C is sharing. An LCD and a sensor can sit on the same two wires at once. 🔗

Because every device has a unique address, the master talks to each one in turn without any of them getting confused.

Connect every device's SDA to SDA and SCL to SCL. They all sit in parallel on the same shared bus lines.

The whole bus needs only one pair of pull-up resistors, not one per device. Many breakouts already include theirs.

Two devices sharing one address will conflict. Run your scanner first to spot duplicates before wiring everything together.

Many boards let you change the address with a solder jumper or pin. That frees you to run two identical sensors at once.

You call Wire.begin() just once. Every library on the bus shares that single connection no matter how many devices you add.

You give each library the device's address when you create it, so calls route to the right chip automatically.

In loop, read the sensor, then update the LCD. The bus handles one conversation at a time, so order is fine.

Long shared wires add noise and can break the bus. Keep I2C runs short and tidy for reliable communication.

With this skill you can grow a project by simply adding more I2C modules, all on the same two trusty wires. 🚀

What happens if two I2C devices share the same address?

You can now wire multiple I2C devices in parallel, avoid address clashes, and address each one to build bigger projects. ✅
