Trouble with I2C tsl45315

[kiran20]

Hallo,

i had a trouble while connecting multiple TSL45315 light sensors. When i did

i2cdetect -y 1

to check the devices connected, i can only see one device address even though there is multiple devices. i removed each device and checked the address, but it shows 0x29 even it is connected with mulitple or single device.

Hope you understand the problem.

Thanks in advance....

You can only use one TSL45315 on any I2S bus, as the address of the device cannot be changed.

okay, thanks for information...But in some tutorials i saw they using multiple TSL2561!..how its possible in the other sensor and not in tsl45315??

look at sensors datasheet.
the datasheet of the TSL45315 tells you that the sensor has a fixed i2c address.
the datasheet of the TSL2561 tells you that the sensor can be set to three different i2c addresses, so three sensors can be used on the same i2c bus

Thanks for the information!!
