With the SparkFun Qwiic Connect System expanding every day, we want to make sure it becomes as accessible as possible but we understand there are other systems that can compliment it out there. The Qwiic to Grove Adapter Cable allows interoperability between the SparkFun Qwiic Connect System and the I2C based Grove boards from Seeed Studio. Now you can plug Seeed Studio boards you may have onto the Qwiic bus or you can use this cable to introduce Qwiic sensors, inputs, and outputs into your Grove system.
Note: The Grove system has a variety of different signal systems that use the same connector. This cable only works with the I2C variety.
The SparkFun Qwiic connect system is an ecosystem of I2C sensors, actuators, shields and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. This reduces the amount of required PCB space, and polarized connections mean you can’t hook it up wrong.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Grove
- Grove is a standardised 4-pin plug-in connector system for sensors and modules that avoids soldering and jumper wires, with different cable types carrying I2C, UART, analogue or digital signals. When a product is Grove-compatible it can be quicker to connect supported modules, provided the connector type, signal and voltage all match.
- I2C
- I2C is a two-wire communication bus used by many sensors and small modules. It matters because several I2C devices can share the same two wires, but each device needs a compatible address and your controller must support I2C.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
- Qwiic
- Qwiic is a plug-in connector system for I2C devices that uses small 4-pin cables, so you can connect compatible sensors without soldering. It matters because your controller or adapter also needs Qwiic, or you will need a cable or breakout to wire it up.
