ChangeAddress method not working #2

Closed SuperNONO06 closed 1 year ago

SuperNONO06 commented 1 year ago

Hello,

Thank you for providing this library to the Arduino comunity, i enjoy it;

I was playing with it in a multiple sensor system and could not "change the address" of the device without error. I have manage to solve the issue by adding the line :

_i2caddress = new_address;

just after : uint8_t VL6180x::changeAddress(uint8_t old_address, uint8_t new_address){

//NOTICE: IT APPEARS THAT CHANGING THE ADDRESS IS NOT STORED IN NON-VOLATILE MEMORY // POWER CYCLING THE DEVICE REVERTS ADDRESS BACK TO 0X29

if( old_address == new_address) return old_address; if( new_address > 127) return old_address;

VL6180x_setRegister(VL6180X_I2C_SLAVE_DEVICE_ADDRESS, new_address);

in the file VL6180X_WE.cpp

Best regards.
