Using 2 multiplexers to have 16 RFID working
![userHead](https://dfimg.dfrobot.com/dfPortrait2.png)
Hi,
I've been working on a project to get 16 RFID working to do a Sudoku puzzle.
These are the component that I'm using :
DFRobot 1-to-8 multiplexer (2 with addresses 0X70 and 0x71)
PN532 NFC RFID Wireless Module V3 (Link)
Arduino Nano
So far I can have 8 RFID working at the same time and both multiplexer are working when alone on the arduino
It seems I can get 16 initializing the RFID but when it's time to loop them to see if they have a new tag, it's not working on 90% of them.
I tried to select a port outside of the range 0-8 to make sure none of the port of the multiplexer were selected since they are both listening (both used the function .begin ).
I did not found a method/function to put a multiplexer to sleep like I2CMultiplexer.stop() or I2CMultiplexer.pause() per example
Here is the code I'm using so far : https://pastebin.com/UnGrmjv5
Thanks in advance
It can aslo be an issue with the bandwidth of I2C of Arduino. Could you please try 4 RFID module on each multiplexer and try again?

Hi
Are you asking Gravity: Digital 1-to-8 I2C Multiplexer(SKU:DFR0576)?
We have updated the library recently, could you please download the latest library and try again?
Hope it can help.
