multiple (> 2) I2C accelerometers possible w/ MMA8451?

Post by sfjohnson722 »

Greetings,
I am looking for I2C accelerometer break out boards to use in a multiple accelerometer recorder (i.e. 4-6 accelerometers). I see that MMA8451 can have one of two addresses with the address pin; is it possible to have additional addresses with the interrupt pins, or is there an alternative that can be recommended?
Thank you in advance,
Shawn

I believe with this sensor, you are limited to only 2 I2C addresses. There's always the ability to use Software I2C to use other pins as I2C....
