docs: def TCA_select(bus, addr, channel):
      """
          This function will write to the control register of the
                  TCA module to select the channel that will be
                  exposed on the TCA module.
          After doing this, the desired module can be used as it would be normally.
                  (The caller should use the address of the I2C sensor module.
          The TCA module is only written to when the channel is switched.)
                  addr contains address of the TCA module
                  channel specifies the desired channel on the TCA that will be used.
  
          Usage - Enable a channel
              TCA_select(bus, self.mux_addr, channel_to_enable)
                  Channel to enable begins at 0 (enables first channel)
                                      ends at 3 (enables fourth channel)
  
          Usage - Disable all channels
              TCA_select(bus, self.mux_addr, "off")
                  This call must be made whenever the sensor node is no longer
                      being accessed.
                  If this is not done, there will be addressing conflicts.
