Excamera Labs I²CMini Evaluation Kits by Excamera
Exacamera Labs I2CMini Evaluation Kits act as a tiny USB to I2C bridge that is compatible with I2CDriver. These evaluation kits feature open hardware, I2C pullups, dual I2C ports, and jumpers. The I2CMini evaluation kits support all I2C features and have a sturdy componentry. These evaluation kits also feature usage reporting and have flexible control. The I2CMini evaluation kits operate at 270mA maximum power out current, up to 25mA device current, and 3.3V output voltage. These evaluation kits also feature 3 pledge packages like I2CMini core, I2CMini expert, and I2CMini gold.
I²CMini Core
The "Core" package is an I2CMini with a Qwiic connector cable.
I²CMini Expert
The "Expert" package includes three I2CMini modules with Qwiic connector cables, a selection of input and output I2C modules, and two carrier PCBs.
