 Some AS5600 modules seem to have a resistor between **PGO** and **GND**.
 This causes the AS5600 to disable the output (to use it for programming, see datasheet). 
 This resistor needs to be removed to use the **OUT** pin.

+#### I2C multiplexing
+
+Sometimes you need to control more devices than possible with the default
+address range the device provides.
+This is possible with an I2C multiplexer e.g. TCA9548 which creates up 
+to eight channels (think of it as I2C subnets) which can use the complete 
+address range of the device. 
+
+Drawback of using a multiplexer is that it takes more administration in 
+your code e.g. which device is on which channel. 
+This will slow down the access, which must be taken into account when
+deciding which devices are on which channel.
+Also note that switching between channels will slow down other devices 
+too if they are behind the multiplexer.

+Alternative could be the use of a AND port for the I2C clock line to prevent 
+the sensor from listening to signals on the I2C bus. 
+
+Finally the sensor has an analogue output **OUT**.
+This output could be used to connect multiple sensors to different analogue ports of the processor.
