Is it possible to have 2 master I2C on one I2c display?
Like this Master1 Line 1 on the display
Master2 Line 2.
I found this on the net
Arbitration
As the I2C bus is a multi-master bus it is possible that two devices initiate a transfer at the exact same
time (e.g. RTC tick). When this happens the first device attempting to transmit a logical 1 while another
device transmits a logical 0 will lose arbitration. The device attempting to transmit 1 will detect that the
line is low when it should actually be high so assumes that another master is active and immediately
stops its transfer. This device will then wait until the next STOP condition before trying to transmit again.
Or do I have to use a 2 to 1 master selector like PCA9541.
