anyone else use the I2C bus?

Hi All
I actually have a question. We figured out how to use the I2C bus and used a Devantech Electronic compass to give us feedback from the robot for positioning information. We thought about also using a Devantech ultrasonic detector on the same I2C bus but for some reason, we were only able to read one sensor at a time and the commands for the second sensor read were ignored. We asked the NI guy at nationals and he essentially said that "we didn't expect anyone to use this" so we never got an answer as to why we couldn't read multiple devices over the I2Cbus.

So two questions:
1) Did you use the I2C Bus? (Brag a little! I'd love to hear what you did.)
2) Were you able to read two or more devices?
