Power Pins

  • Vin - this is the power pin. Since the sensor chip uses 3 VDC, we have included a voltage regulator on board that will take 3-5VDC and safely convert it down. To power the board, give it the same power as the logic level of your microcontroller - e.g. for a 5V microcontroller like Arduino, use 5V
  • 3Vo - this is the 3.3V output from the voltage regulator, you can grab up to 100mA from this if you like
  • GND - common ground for power and logic

I2C Logic Pins

  • SCL - I2C clock pin, connect to your microcontroller I2C clock line. On the breakouts, this pin is level shifted so you can use 3-5V logic. There's a 10K pullup on this pin.
  • SDA - I2C data pin, connect to your microcontroller I2C data line.
  • On the breakouts, this pin is level shifted so you can use 3-5V logic. There's a 10K pullup on this pin.
  • STEMMA QT - These connectors allow you to make I2C connections to dev boards with STEMMA QT connectors or to other things with various associated accessories.

Other Pins

  • RST - Module signal reset. Reset low.
  • SET - Set pin. High when working status, low level is sleeping mode.
