Hello,
To connect more than one sensor to a board, you typically have a few options:
Sensor Multiplexing: If your board supports it, you can use sensor multiplexing. This involves using a multiplexer or a demultiplexer to switch between multiple sensors connected to a single connector. You would select the sensor you want to read data from by changing the configuration of the multiplexer.
Daisy Chaining: Some sensors are designed to be daisy-chained, where one sensor's output can be connected to the next sensor's input. This allows you to connect multiple sensors in a chain, but they must be compatible with this method.
I2C or SPI Bus: Many sensors use standard communication protocols like I2C or SPI. If your board and sensors support these protocols, you can connect multiple sensors to the same bus. Each sensor will have a unique address on the bus, and you can communicate with them individually.
Analog/Digital Pins: If the board has multiple analog or digital pins available, you can connect each sensor to a separate pin. This may require additional code to manage multiple sensors and their data.
