How to set a script to run on a specific I2C bus?

[rallydarkstrike]

Hi all - I have a Raspberry Pi 4 that I am trying to get an I2C info screen working according to this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRTQ0Ns ... ex=1&t=32s

The script is this one: https://github.com/mklements/OLED_Stats ... n/stats.py

He had a previous setup using an older Adafruit library to run the info screen and in that script there was s specific line I could state which bus to use. In his guide he uses the default I2C bus on the Pi, but on my Pi, I have a power button hooked up to the default bus and have a second bus created that is called Bus 4.

How would I go about directing the script to use that bus instead to find the screen...?

Thanks! :)

Thanks for the reply - I'm fairly new to the Pi / Adafruit / Python, but I don't see anything at the like you provided that would tell me how to set my screen script for a different 12C bus?

Once the alternate bus is setup, you access it like this:

In the script I referenced:
https://github.com/mklements/OLED_Stats ... n/stats.py

There is the line:
i2c = board.I2C()

Are the brackets in that script where I would put bus 4 if I wanted to use bus 4?

Yes. Just like the example linked shows putting a 1 in the brackets to use bus 1. But you need to set up the bus separately, to actually have a bus 4.
