Additional i2c

I've got my mintypi build started. I'm just getting the software setup now before I finish assembling. I don't have the usb sound device soldered on yet as it's giving me a headache in software right now. Anyway... I'm curious about adding an additional i2c device if I can cram one in. There are some very small i2c acceleromater/magnotometers and I'd really like to see if I could squeeze one in. My understanding is, if it fits physically, there shouldn't be any issue soldering a 2nd device to the i2c pins of the raspberry pi? Or is there more I should know before I attempt this?

I2c is a bus. You can put as many devices as you have addresses available (64 IIRC)

I have one setup on there on my build for battery monitoring and safe shutdown, so yes you can use it but remember to enable it first in the pi-config menu.
