Microcontroller development boards are great for prototyping electronic devices. But the more components you connect to them, the more complicated the wiring becomes. If you’ve got a lot of components, you’ll quickly end up with a headache-inducing rat’s nest of wires. SparkFun Electronics’ Qwiic Connect System is designed to simplify that wiring by using chainable I2C modules that require just four wires.
Via Crowd Supply, there will be adapters for Arduino/Adafruit Metro, Adafruit Feather, Adafruit ItsyBitsy, Adafruit Trinket, mikroBUS Click, and SAO (Shitty Add-On). Because the vast majority of development boards from other companies use one of those pin header layouts, you can find an adapter for almost any board on the market.
