SparkFun Qwiic Shield for Thing Plus Hookup Guide
Introduction
The SparkFun Qwiic Shield for Thing Plus provides an easy-to-assemble way to add the SparkFun Qwiic
ecosystem to any development board with the Thing Plus Footprint. This shield is also compatible with the Feather
Footprint so you can add Qwiic functionality to any development board that uses the Thing Plus or Feather
Footprints! It connects the I C bus (GND, 3.3V, SDA, and SCL) on your Thing Plus to four SparkFun Qwiic
connectors. The Qwiic ecosystem allows for easy daisy chaining so, as long as your devices are on different
addresses, you can connect as many Qwiic devices as you'd like.
