Patch for I2
"the latest Raspbian Jessie and Stretch releases have an updated I2C driver that isn't compatible with how this library enables repeated I2C start bits. From the thread about this issue there's a workaround to enable the older I2C driver. Edit the /boot/config.txt on your SD card and add:
dtoverlay=i2c-bcm2708
