4.6.3 J5/J6: I2C Address Hardware Setting (A1)

Jumpers J5 and J6 are used to set the hardware setting for the A1 I2C address pin on the INA226. Using J3, the A1 address can be set to either a logic '1' or a logic '0'. Using J4, the A1 address can be set to either the SCL or SDA communication line. Make sure to only have either J5 or J6 connected individually; failure to keep these lines separate can lead to board shorts and problems with the I2C communication lines. See Section 6.2.1 on how to configure the INA226EVM software to match the J5/J6 hardware setting.
