But I Already Have Sensors!

If you already have a handful of SparkFun sensors and parts? SparkFun has been putting our standard GND/VCC/SDA/SCL pinout on all our I²C boards for many years. This makes it possible to attach a Qwiic Adapter that will get your SparkFun I²C sensor or actuator onto the Qwiic system.
