Description of your issue:
Following the guidance from https://www.reddit.com/r/stratux/comments/135uney/nearly_plug_and_play_ahrs_pressure_sensor_fan/ I decided to swap out my original (wildly inaccurate) AHRS / fan controller 2.0 with Adafruit STEMMA ICM-20948 and BMP280 boards connected via I2C (daisy-chained with the BMP280 between the raspberry and the ICM-20948). The ICM-20948 (downstream in the daisy chain of i2c devices) works fine, but the Stratux web page reads Pressure Altitude: 0', the ALT flag is red, and the stratux log fills up with "Error identifying IMU: remote I/O error" entries and "Last BMP read" values that increase endlessly, unless I disable the Baro switch in settings (in developer mode), at which point the log file is free of these errors.
If I SSH into my Raspberry Pi 3B I can see the BMP280 on the i2C bus at address 0x77, and I can pull the chip ID (0x0058) from register 0xd0, so I think there's nothing wrong with the connection or the hardware. Checking the BMP280.go file I see that address 0x77 is expected, as is chipID 0x58, so I'm at a loss to understand the problem.
Sample log file with "Baro" switch on (no GPS solution because indoors):
