    @Egnos
    40~45cm seems somewhat too long. Could you build it shorter? or use a lower frequency than usual case.
    Ref. these;

      @MMRIZE The path of the sensor cables (Yellow, red, white and black) is this:

      Maybe I could shorten the wires a bit…

      Thanks for the links.

        @Egnos Maybe Sparkfun Midpoint and Endpoint to give you ample length. They tout over 100’ with those devices.

            @Egnos
            There are several “I2C Extenders” (Or “Active Terminator”)

            I haven’t tried this kind of thing, but it is worth researching.

            • https://sandboxelectronics.com/?product=active-i2c-long-cable-extender-p82b715-module
            • https://www.adafruit.com/product/4756
            • https://www.sparkfun.com/products/16988 (It needs QWIIC environment)

              @Egnos You want what is called a Midpoint which is Midpoint.jpg
              Also need an Endpoint which is this Endpoint.jpg

              I whipped this together in double quick time so pardon the lack of tidiness.
              For reference sake I focused on a couple of BME688’s to give you sort of a benchmark.
              First is screenshot showing both BME’s running. Had to do jumper on one to get a second address 0x76 and 0x77

                @ankonaskiff17 Here is screenshot of BME688 0x77BME6880x77.jpg
                It is connected to one of my Endpoints.

                    Hi there.
                    I made the decision to remove the monitor from the wall to fix the problem on the gesture sensor Paj7620 (is not easy for me remove the monitor from the wall…:face_with_steam_from_nose: ).

                    Now I need to choose the right “I2C Extender” for my installation, in particular I have to cut the cable that connects the gesture sensor with the RPI and connect the “I2C Extender” in the middle in order to increase the signal intensity and therefore the range.

                    I would share with you what I selected:

                    • https://futuranet.it/prodotto/breakout-board-i2c-extender/ (I have a doubt about the 12 VdC…)

                    • https://store.ncd.io/product/i2c-extender-cable-adapter-cable-joiner/

                    • https://www.adafruit.com/product/4756 (i have a doubt if this extender I can put it in the middle of the line…)

                    Could you help me?

                    Thanks.
