I am trying to find a way to use 2 of the 4 in 1 sensors on the same EZB.
Is it possible to change the i2c addressing on this sensor?
Why I would want 2 sensors:
On my R2 bot, I want positional information of the dome. So when the camera module tracks an object or color moving the dome, if I have a 4in1 in the body and one in the dome, I can figure the dome position in relation to the body.
If anyone has any other ways to accomplish this I am open to suggestions.

Note the answer I was hoping for but an answer.
I guess I will try using the DC-SS503 in the body and the 4in1 in the dome. would like to do it the other way around but with the wire length limitations on the 503, I don't have many options.
Thanks again

I don't know how your running your control and feedback wiring but with an EZB in both the dome and the body this will eliminate a lot of wires running between the two sections.

I highly recommend mutable EZB's when practical in multi leveled robots who's levels move independent of each other or just to simply eliminate the extra wires running between sections of the robot. In my B9 I have two EZB's in the torso (I need the extra Uart and digital ports) and one in the lower leg section. When the Tiny comes out I'll have an additional one in the brain again giving me 4 EZB's.
One added note; if you add an extra EZB you should try to keep them apart from each other by a few inches. People have had problems with the WIFI signals interfering with other giving connection issues. The two I have in my torso are about 5 inches apart and I have no issues.
There is also a new version of the big EZB coming out soon (hopefully) with a better WIFI board. I understand it will have better connectivity among other new features. If it has a stronger WIFI signal then the orignal V4 then I fear the issue of two EZB's sitting to close and interfering with each other may be worse. Any comments on this thought? *confused*
Good looking little droid you have there.
Burnt another servo last night, this time the eyeball servo. I assume tracking is to much for the servo. The eyeball servo only has 40 degrees of travel and the rapid movement when tracking must have cooked the chips on the board. Might have to rethink the design. I like the look though, and it works great until it doesn't. The eyeball is made from a cap from the top of a bed post. it is a little smaller then a ping pong ball. I have thought of using a continuous rotation servo with a worm gear setup but can not come up with a way to get position information. Same problem I had initially with the dome causing me to go from a continuous rotation servo turning a ring gear to a standard servo in the center. Every bot has its own design problems.
