Field notes
The shared connector uses the JST-SH 1.0 mm format and the same pin order as Qwiic and PiicoDev. Address jumpers allow multiple boards of the same type on one bus, while configurable pull-ups account for hosts that already provide them. The page identifies the project as designed in Australia and links to separate sites for each board’s technical details.
