Sensor SHT21 Temp&Hum: wire / library problem (guess)

Projects Programming
1

Hallo everyone,

am using the Leonardo Board and have connected a few Humidity and Temperature Sensor via I2C to the board.
How? via dis-/connecting the data line of the sensor (which should be activ) change two identic I2C address from SHT21 - #21 by coolf - Sensors - Arduino Forum

I using a library from Christopher Ladden thanks that. I modified it an that it is:

Header .h and .cpp file you can find:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tpqm1vpe6cpm7qr/EZpaqC2tg_

Now to my Problem:
While I have just one active Sensor and unplug the sensor. The value is -1 for Temperature and also the Humility. So fare so good. When i connect it again it`ll work fine.

When I do have two active Sensors and unplug one Sensor the hole system hangs up. That problem has to be solved: HOW?

I guess in the function: readSensor

uint16_t LibHumidity::readSensor(uint8_t command) {

uint16_t result;
uint16_t counter = 0;

Wire.beginTransmission(eSHT21Address); //begin

Wire.write(command); //send the pointer location
delay(readDelay);
Wire.endTransmission(); //end

Wire.requestFrom(eSHT21Address, 3); // ändert (Adresse, Bytes, boolean) 21.5 false for continuing restart after requestFrom()
while(Wire.available() < 3 && counter < 100) { //potentioal error return = -1
counter++; //wait
//delay(10); // for waiting much longer while the data arrives
}
if(counter >= 100)
{
counter = 0;
return -1;
}
else
{

//Store the result
result = ((Wire.read()) << 8);
result += Wire.read();
result &= ~0x0003; // clear two low bits (status bits)
return result;
}

}

I would be very pleased if anyone could have an idea what i could dry or how i could optimize the code.

thank you for looking into and all the best
