You need to show me your code... The file I sent was to read two 
sensors. The second was the 1X8 sensor so it reads a different number of 
bytes. You have to change that, everything else should be the same..

Yes, just connect the A select line of the 4051 (pin 11) directly to 
3.3V or ground to select one or the other. But disconnect the GPIO pin 
when you do that.

Sounds like the multiplexer isn't working right. Do you have a photo of 
your setup? Can you confirm that the GPIO pin switches?
