Multiple I2C Connections

I'm using the Teensy 4.1 and trying to hook up and read from 2 different IMUs (Adafruit BNO055 and MPU6050). I have them hoked up to Wire (MPU6050) and Wire2 (BNO055). I was testing just using Wire2 with the BNO055, but couldn't get it to read anything from it. I would like to know if what I'm trying to do is possible and if so, what code/libraries need to be used to do so. Below is the code I'm running trying to get just the BNO055 to work on Wire2. There's a lot of extra definitions that can be ignored as they're for other parts of my project.

#include <Servo.h> #include <Adafruit_Sensor.h> #include <Adafruit_BNO055.h> #include <utility/imumaths.h> #include <Wire.h> #include <SPI.h> #include <ubx.h> #include <SD.h> #include "mission_parameters.h" #include "hardware_parameters.h" #include "definitions.h" #if I2CDEV_IMPLEMENTATION == I2CDEV_ARDUINO_WIRE #include "Wire.h" #endif //--- Create Hardware Instances ---// bfs::Ubx gnss(&Serial2); // Teensy 4.1 Servo pitch_servo; Servo roll_servo; Adafruit_BNO055 bno = Adafruit_BNO055(55); //^^^ Create Hardware Instances ^^^// //--- Initialize FSM States ---// typedef enum { STOW = 0, WORKING = 1, } STATE; STATE current_state = STOW; STATE next_state = STOW; //^^^ Initialize FSM States ^^^// //--- Initialize FSM variables ---// bool relay_flag = false; // Flag to enable WORKING State bool relay_signal = false; // Relay digital read signal int relay_counter = 0; int gnss_fix = 0; int gnss_fix_signal = 0; int gnss_fix_prev = 0; int gnss_fail_counter = 0; int gnss_threshold = 5; bool stow_flag = 1; bool work_flag = 0; unsigned long last_sd_write_time; //^^^ Initialize FSM variables ^^^// //--- GNSS Data Structures ---// PositionGeo current_pos; struct PositionGeo cmp[2]; float current_distance_from_line; float current_bearing_from_origin; float line_bearing; float line_length; //^^^ GNSS Data Structures ^^^// //--- Gimbal Measurements ---// float current_roll_angle; float current_pitch_angle; float target_roll_angle; float target_pitch_angle; //^^^ Gimbal Measurements ^^^// //--- Adam's Control Loop ---// float roll_input; float pitch_input; float roll_cmd; float pitch_cmd; float roll_angle; float pitch_angle; float roll_err; float pitch_err; float sgn_roll_err; float sgn_pitch_err; float dummy; float roll_write_in; float pitch_write_in; //^^^ Adam's Control Loop ^^^// float prev_fix_timer = millis(); void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); // Establish Serial connection roll_servo.attach(roll_servo_pin); // Attach roll servo and center pitch_servo.attach(pitch_servo_pin); // Attach pitch servo and center delay(3000); //--- Initialize IMU device ---// Wire2.begin(); Wire2.setClock(400000); // 400kHz I2C clock.

Sorry there's a bunch of unrelated variables and stuff. I got the code from someone else and don't want to delete things for other parts of the code.

I was also wondering if I should connect both IMUs to the same I2C, it's been a while since I learned I2C.

Thank you
 
To add more detail. I'm trying to read from the 2 IMUs at as close to the same time as possible. I'm using this code to point an antenna using a 2 servo gimbal for pitch and roll. One IMU is on the gimbal (the part not moved by servos) and is the main one for measuring the angle the gimbal has moved to move the servos. The other IMU is on the antenna (this one is moved by servos). It's used for feedback to get more precise pointing of the antenna and for logging movements.
 
I know I just posted this, but I figured out a way to get both readings. I have them both connected to Wire through I2C and that works. I don't know why Wire2 wasn't working, but for my uses, I found a way to do it.
 
Did you try specifying the Wire instance to use in the constructor?
Code:
Adafruit_BNO055(int32_t sensorID = -1, uint8_t address = BNO055_ADDRESS_A,
                  TwoWire *theWire = &Wire);
