At line 1 added one line
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].
At line 3 added one line
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):

!! Known I²C Devices
Some well known I²C products (mostly a list of tested devices; there are thousands available). No two I²C may share the same address on an I²C bus, otherwise there will be contention.
