Multiple RFID (RC522) reader via Grove Hub
-
Hi,
Could you please help me to handle three rfid reader which attached to a hub? I think I should change the default (0x28) I2C address for the other two modules. Or somehow I could initialize the MFRC522 instance with the same address?
Thanks,

No, all i2c devices need different address.

@falmasi
Hub just for direct connection.

@ajb2k3 Thaks, and can I change the default address?

I don't know as I don't have one.
I was taking a guess based on i2c protocol.

It can not be change the iic address. It has been defined by hardware of RFID module in RFID Unit.
Here's the description about IIC address

ah, so in this case, @falmasi will need to use an i2c expander.
Something like the TCA9548A to use multiple devices on one port.

Should it have to work?
Thanks,

No that is an I/O expander NOT an i2c expander.
you need an i2c expander like this.
