The MCP9600, often found in modules like the Grove - I2C Thermocouple Amplifier, primarily uses 0x60 as its default I2C address. However, it also offers an optional I2C address of 0x67.
These addresses allow a microcontroller or host system to communicate with the MCP9600 thermocouple amplifier over the I2C bus. The flexibility of having a default and an optional address is beneficial in scenarios where multiple I2C devices with conflicting addresses are present on the same bus, enabling different configurations to avoid conflicts.
MCP9600 I2C Address Details
The following table summarizes the I2C addresses associated with the MCP9600:
Item | Value |
---|---|
Default I2C Address | 0x60 |
Optional I2C Address | 0x67 |
For more detailed information on the MCP9600 and its integration, you can refer to the Seeed Studio Wiki. Understanding the correct I2C address is crucial for successful communication and data retrieval from the sensor, ensuring accurate temperature readings from thermocouples.
