The Qwiic Shield for Photo connects the I2C bus (GND, 3.3V, SDA, and SCL) from the Particle Photon to the SparkFun Qwiic system.

Just plug a Photon into the Qwiic Shield, plug in a cable, and start playing with a variety of sensors and actuators. There are four connectors, all on the same I2C bus, so you can connect multiple devices. The Photon runs at 3.3V, so no conversion circuitry is necessary. Additionally, there is a prototyping area and additional 0.1" I2C pins broken out.

This product includes two 12-pin stackable headers. This allows the Qwiic Shield for Photon to stack with other SparkFun Photon Shields.

The Qwiic system enables fast and solderless connection between popular platforms and various sensors and actuators. You can read more about the Qwiic system here. We carry 200mm, 100mm, 50mm, and breadboard friendly Qwiic cables.

We do not plan to regularly produce SparkX products so get them while they’re hot!

Experimental Product: SparkX products are rapidly produced to bring you the most cutting edge technology as it becomes available. These products are tested but come with no guarantees. Live technical support is not available for SparkX products. Head on over to our forum for support or to ask a question.
