Hi !
I am working on the Sparkfun Weather meter kit, equipped with a MicroMod on the weather carrier board. I want to connect an external BME280 sensor on the I2C pins on the weather board with different address. My BME280 has the address 0x76, the internal one BME280 sensor has 0x77.
The problem is that the MicroMod don’t see the 0x76 sensor and still read 0x77 internal sensor.
Then I connected my oscilloscope on the SDA pin but it didn’t show any signal. Both lines (SDA, SCL) have a pullup resistor.
Can somebody help me?

You’ll need to alter the code to query the sensors individually….it might help to use a mux in-between if any address conflicts arise
But i have two sensors with differenti address
Are the function calls the same or altered to reflect such?
Just curious, what is the purpose of the second one?
The purpose of connecting a second BME280 is to exclude the one integrated on the board because it is influenced by the heat from the CPU.
In the picture attached you can see the board and the 4 pins I used for connecting an external BME280 with the different address (0x76) of the internal (0x77).
