Yes I get that too. (unless the sensor returns one byte it's probably 
normal) But "i2cdetect -y 1" still shows a sensor at 0x0A.
I run the code as "sudo ./d6t_reader 0", otherwise I don't have 
permission to set the GPIO pin.
I don't get any write errors though.
Are you writing to the correct i2c?
There are two places in the code that could throw the write error. Maybe 
change the message so you can tell which one it is.
Anyway the setup should work with the old code (only one sensor), the 
4051 circuit should have no effect on the communication betwen the Pi 
and one of the sensors, the select pin select which sensor receives the 
clock. So if the older code isn't working the circuit is wrong, 
otherwise the code is buggy.
