Connections

pinout


Voltage supply

The module is powered with 3.3V via the Qwiic connectors, but works with voltages between 1.6V and 5.5V.

If the module is connected using the Qwiic connectors, leave V+ and GND unconnected.

I2C / Qwiic

Connections for I2C are available both as solder-free Qwiic connectors and as through-holes for wires or pin headers with 2.54mm pitch.

The board comes with pullup resistors for SCL and SDA. The solder bridge marked "I2C PU" can be severed if external pullups are used.
