I have a problem in connecting 2 INA226 modules with I2C protocol. In the project will have 4 INA226 modules each of which has a different power supply (12V, 5V, 5V USB and 3.3V).
I am attaching the wiring diagram of all 4.
At the moment, however, I tried only a connection of 2 of these modules to see in the meantime if the Arduino code worked (if it works for 2 it also works for 4) .... but it doesn't work
I found the i2c addresses with the I2C Scan code and then corrected them (one is the default (0x40) the other 0x45).
Can you help me?
I am attaching both the Arduino INO code and the wiring diagram.

It's rather seldom to see such a comprehensive description of what went wrong. So my help is about as useful: fix it, it's either the hardware or the software.
No, maybe I wasn't clear ... the code doesn't work. It's not really loaded on arduino. If you want me to post the trick of all the errors that come out ok, but I thought that maybe an expert in the code looking at it can tell me things and where I was wrong to compile. However I will list below the errors I get when I try to load the sketch

That was the mistake. I called the variable ina_3V3, replaced everywhere and works perfectly !! Thanks a lot!
Now the code is this

You still feel one thing ... if I wanted to call the reading now
ina_5V.readBusVoltage () for example as Voltage_5V
and the current reading ina_5V.readShuntCurrent () for example as Current_5V
