Which factor prevents address conflicts when multiple I2C devices are connected to the same Raspberry Pi bus?

easy🧠 Conceptual Q1 of 15
Raspberry Pi - I2C Communication

Which factor prevents address conflicts when multiple I2C devices are connected to the same Raspberry Pi bus?

ADevices must be powered from separate sources
BAll devices must share the same clock speed
CEach device must have a unique I2C address
DOnly one device can be active at a time
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand I2C addressing

    Each I2C device has a unique 7-bit or 10-bit address used to identify it on the bus.
  2. Step 2: Avoid address conflicts

    If two devices share the same address, the master cannot distinguish between them, causing communication errors.
  3. Final Answer:

    Each device must have a unique I2C address -> Option C
  4. Quick Check:

    Unique addresses prevent conflicts [OK]
Quick Trick: Unique addresses avoid bus conflicts [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Assuming devices can share the same address without issues
  • Believing clock speed or power source affects addressing
