[{SET alias='I²C'}]
The __Inter-integrated Circuit (I²C) Protocol__ (pronounced ''I-squared-C'') is a hardware serial interface (or "protocol") intended to allow multiple "slave" components to communicate with one or more "master" components. It used across many microprocessors and microcontrollers, including the [Raspberry Pi].
I²C permits sensors and other IO devices to be connected to the controller (and/or each other) with only four wires (or really only ''two'' if you don't count Vcc and ground):
# __3-6V__ (Vcc)
# __SDA__ (Serial Data Line)
# __SCL__ (Serial Clock Line)
# __GND__ (Ground)
The Pimoroni "Breakout Garden" set of I²C sensors also includes an "__{{{INT}}}__" (interrupt) pin, ''AKA'' "{{{GCLK}}}" or "{{{GPIO4}}}".
!! To View the Current I²C Devices
To see what's connected on your Raspberry Pi, type (not including the {{{%}}} prompt):
{{{
% i2cdetect -y 1
}}}
and you'll see something like:
{{{

!! Known I²C Devices
Some well known I²C products. No two I²C may share the same address on an I²C bus, otherwise there will be contention.
