Do I need to change I2C address of my device?

If you are connecting single device to NXT sensor port, you don't need to change address.

As per I2C specifications, you can connect many devices on a single I2C port. However each device must have unique I2C address.

So, you could connect two (or more) NXTMMX-v2 to a single sensor port of your NXT, but you will have to change one of the devices' address so that it differs from the other.
