I am trying to interface more than one sensor with Raspberry Pi Zero W, which communicate using i2c interface.

So far I am able to connect sensor to dedicated i2c and read the data.

Want to know how I can setup software i2c on RPi ZW GPIO pins (any) to connect sensor to my choice of GPIO. I am aware of i2c-gpio kernel module in raspbian, but how can I use it from python.

i2c devices can be 'daisy chained' so you only need 2 pins:

Use 'i2cdetect -y 1' to list the addresses of each device:

  • How can I interpret address like this TSL2561: 0x39(57). If 0x39 is TSL2561 address, then what is (57) in this case ?
