I am able to use the display on a different Sketch with no problem, however I need to now put 2 displayus on the buss and change the address of one of them. the SF example code does not change the address.

OpenSegment is an 7-segment display with Serial/I2C/SPI interfaces.

OpenSegment gives the user multiple interfaces (serial, I2C, and SPI) to control a four digit
seven segment display.
This example shows how to change the I2C or TWI address.
Please Note: 0x71 is the 7-bit I2C address. If you are using a different language than Arduino you will probably
need to add the Read/Write bit to the end of the address. This means the default read address for the OpenSegment
is 0b.1110.0011 or 0xE3 and the write address is 0b.1110.0010 or 0xE2.
For more information see https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/i2c
Note: This code expects the display to be listening at the default I2C address. If your display is not at 0x71, you can
do a software or hardware reset. See the Wiki for more info:
http://github.com/sparkfun/Serial7SegmentDisplay/wiki/Special-Commands
To get this code to work, attached a Serial7Segment to an Arduino Uno using the following pins:
SCL (OpenSegment) to A5 (Arduino)
SDA to A4
VIN to 5V
GND to GND
For this example pull up resistors are not needed on SDA and SCL. If you have other devices on the
I2C bus then 4.7k pull up resistors are recommended.
OpenSegment will work at 400kHz Fast I2C. Use the .setClock() call shown below to set the data rate
faster if needed.

{
Wire.begin(); //Join the bus as master
//By default .begin() will set I2C SCL to Standard Speed mode of 100kHz

//Given a number, i2cSendValue chops up an integer into four values and sends them out over I2C
void i2cSendValue(int tempCycles)
{
Wire.beginTransmission(DISPLAY_ADDRESS_NEW); // transmit to device at new I2C address
Wire.write(tempCycles / 1000); //Send the left most digit
tempCycles %= 1000; //Now remove the left most digit from the number we want to display
Wire.write(tempCycles / 100);
tempCycles %= 100;
Wire.write(tempCycles / 10);
tempCycles %= 10;
Wire.write(tempCycles); //Send the right most digit
Wire.endTransmission(); //Stop I2C transmission
