Qwiic Connector

Note:

 By default, the board's power is isolated from the Qwiic connector system. Although it isn't

recommended, users can modify the 

3V3 Qwiic

 jumper to draw power from the Qwiic connector. The Qwiic

system is meant to run on 

3.3V

, be sure that another voltage is NOT used with the Qwiic system.

New for the Qwiic Tsunami, users can now control the board through the an I C protocol. The polarized Qwiic
connector allows users to easily interface with the Qwiic connect system. The Qwiic Tsunami’s default I C address
is 

0x13

 (7-bit).
