That example goes through the list of available address to see if a sensor is attached that has a corresponding address, so it definitely takes awhile to go through the whole list. You could rewrite
That example goes through the list of available address to see if a sensor is attached that has a corresponding address, so it definitely takes awhile to go through the whole list. You could rewrite it to only go through the addresses of your sensors and not the entire list. But your sensors have a 600ms sample time (as stated in the datasheet), so you’ll need to add a little delay after that and then you’ll have the poll time, so I’d allow 1 second for each sensor, and with 8 sensors it’ll take 8 seconds total. Is that acceptable?
