I want to control some I2C devices using a PIC, however, the I2C devices I've selected support a maxium of 4 such devices on an i2c bus (4 slave addresses).
so, can I get around this by using more pins on the PIC, to create multiple I2C buses?
for example, PORTC with 8 I/O lines ... can I use 0 & 1 for the first smbus, 2 & 3 for the second smbus, 4 & 5 for the third and 6 & 7 for the fourth?
