What is a Qwiic connector?

Qwiic SparkFun is an ecosystem that includes numerous sensors based on the I2C bus , executive modules and dedicated cables . The main assumption of this solution is to streamline the prototyping process. All Qwiic-enabled components use a common 1mm pitch 4-pin JST connector . This reduces the amount of space required on the PCB. It also protects against connecting wrong polarity.

Description of the module pins

  • GND - system ground
  • 3V3 - power pin
  • SDA - data line of the I2C bus
  • SCL - clock line of the I2C bus
  • INT - internal interrupt pin
