Description
I2CMini is an easy-to-use, open-source USB to I2C interface board that is 100% compatible with I2CDriver. This tiny 18x18mm board acts as an I2C controller, passive monitor, and capture-to-PC, supporting up to 400 kHz operation. Designed for simplicity, it supports devices with Qwiic, Stemma QT, or Grove I2C connectors.
- USB to I2C interface on a compact 18x18mm PCB
- Dual I2C ports: one 0.1" header and one Qwiic / Stemma QT connector
- Includes 100mm Qwiic / Stemma QT to socket jumper set
- Flexible control via GUI, command-line, C/C++, and Python 2/3 on Windows, Mac, and Linux
- No special drivers needed; uses standard FTDI USB serial chip
- Separate 3.3V supply with on-chip temperature monitoring
- Programmable pull-up resistors on both I2C lines
- Compatible with IoT, drones, and sensor calibration applications
- Robust hardware with Silicon Labs EFM8 controller
- Powered via USB 2.0 micro USB connector
