Bit waveform clarification
To me it looks like ser.write(1) has an implicit conversion to string. So your 1 becomes a "1" which is 00110001, which perfectly fits into your observation.

Inconsistency in continuous data acquisition on RPi
Cursory look over your code makes me think there might be a performance problem
with the way you have interspersed your file writing logic with your acquisition loop.
I am referring the fprintf ...

Bit-banging with Python
1) Bit banging just means using software rather than hardware to implement a communications protocol. To bit bang I2C this means to control the SDA and SCL signals in software. SDA is connected to ...

High speed bit bang GPIO reading
I do not remember why the limit is 250k rather than say 500k or 1000k. I expect there was a reason. It may simply have been there was too much jitter at the higher bit rates to reliably clock the ...

Proper way to bit bang I2C
That LDAC signal is truly nasty.
I have read the datasheet and your messages a few times and I can't quite focus on a specific issue so I figure out you're just brainstorming. I will start from what ...

Proper way to bit bang I2C
A few thoughts:
Using dedicated I2C pins for your bit-banged I2C should be fine as long as you don't use smbus at the same time.
Improving GPIO timing in userspace can be done by increasing process ...

Using bypass capacitors to reduce voltage spikes and noise causing I2C read/write errors
Question
I2C device reading writing errors problem. How to solve it?
Answer
There are many reasons causing reading and writing errors. To name a few:
Wires too long (more than 30cm) and not ...

Using bypass capacitors to reduce voltage spikes and noise causing I2C read/write errors
The solution is to bridge the RPi GND and 3v using a cap.
I used a 1uF cap.

Deinitialize GPIO access on I2C channels
Yes, set the GPIO back into mode ALT0 (needed by GPIO 2/3 to be in I2C mode).
Tiny GPIO has the following define to use to set that mode.
#define PI_ALT0 4

Bitbang I²C to multiple slaves with same address
I have never heard of this approach on the Pi.
If clock stretching is not a issue I don't see why it could not work.
I suggest you look at extending an I2C sniffer I wrote to test the idea.

How many i2c buses?
What do you mean by at once?
You can buy two TCA9548A I2C multiplexors which will allow you to connect 16 MPU6050 on the same bus (at the same bus address). However only one MPU6050 may be addressed ...

Inconsistency in continuous data acquisition on RPi
Using DMA bit banging it is possible to get accurately timed gap-less samples from the MCP3202. The same technique should work for the MCP3201 with the obvious change to the SPI command to request ...

I think "accounting" for them is simple enough, it is arbitrary latency. If the units there are seconds, then that is a cause for consternation.

Using INT interrupt line on PCF8574 I2C 8-bit IO-expander on Bit-banged RPi GPIO?
I have a very similar scenario as you:
A distributed domotic system all over the house with a central device (Raspberry PI) and a few satellite boards with I2C (PCF8574/PCF8591) and 1-Wire (DS18B20).
