Gravity: LTC4316 I2C Address Shifter Module

FAQ

• Why do I need to solder resistor to adjust the lower four bits of the I2C address, instead of also designing more dip switch to adjustment other bit?
  Dip Switch schange the address by connecting a large number of resistors in parallel or not. If the lower four bits are also use the dip switch, this will greatly increase the number of resistors on board.This makes the size of this module very large.
• Why did the sensor address not change after adjusting the on-board dip switch.
  Gravity: I2C Address Shifter needs to be power off and on after adjusting the dip switch for the new address.
• How to quickly confirm the new I2C address after changing toggles or soldering resistors

  You can connect the sensor to an Arduino or ESP32 via an address converter and upload the I2C Scanner code below. The serial monitor will output the new I2C address.
