This ultra-compact Qwiic breakout allows you to use non-Qwiic I2C sensors/devices with your Qwiic-based project. It also allows you to do things the opposite way - breaking out Qwiic devices to simple pads for hooking up to your circuit in whatever way you decide - soldered wires, terminal blocks, headers and more.

Another handy way to use this breakout is to solder the included 4-pin header to the board and use it as a breadboard adapter for Qwiic devices - handy!

I2C and Qwiic devices use four lines for power and communication - GND, 3.3V, SDA and SCL. The pads on one side of this breakout connect these lines to two Qwiic connectors, and all share the same lines. This allows a few different use cases to help you hook up the parts from your project:

Use the breakout to:

Connect a non-Qwiic I2C device to a Qwiic system
Break a Qwiic sensor out to pads
Join two Qwiic cables together using the two Qwiic ports (pads unused)
Connect a Qwiic device AND a non-Qwiic device to a Qwiic host microcontroller (devices will require different I2C addresses)
Connect two Qwiic devices to a breadboard using the included pin header (devices will require different I2C addresses)
...and more!

If you're soldering wires, consider using the underside solder pads. We added these because we know just how tricky it is to de-solder and re-solder a wire from a pad hole. With the underside pads, it's much, much easier to re-work and re-use.

We also used M2.5 mounting holes as they're a popular size with easy-to-source fixings...and because we detest fiddly M2 fixings.
