Qwiic Connect System

Thing Plus features SparkFun's Qwiic connect system, which makes prototyping and development a snap:

  • Tons of expansion boards: There are hundreds of Qwiic-compatible expansion boards to choose from, including everything from RFID readers to displays to keypads
  • No soldering: Qwiic cables (4-pin JST) plug easily from development boards to sensors, shields, accessory boards and more, making it easy to set up a new prototype
  • Polarized connector: There's no need to worry about accidentally swapping the SDA and SCL wires on your breadboard - the Qwiic connector is polarized so you know you'll have it wired correctly every time, right from the start
  • Daisy chainable: It's time to leverage the power of the I2C bus! Most Qwiic boards will have two or more connectors on them, allowing multiple devices to be connected
