#159860 - it depends how do you see it
Responding to: ???'s previous message
The I2C address, according to the standard, is 7 bit long, and is sent over with an added 8th bit (W/R).
However, some manufacturers don't really care about the standards, and give the "byte to be sent after START" (i.e. 8 bits) instead of the 7-bit number, as an address. I think this is what happened here. You can see it as if it would be a device with address 077h.
