Qwiic Shield for Arduino - Board Compatibility?

Qwiic System

Hi,

I have an Arduino Uno Wifi Rev 2 and am interested in using the SparkFun Qwiic Shield for Arduino. Is it compatible with the Arduino Uno Wifi Rev 2?

Yes, that shield should work :smiley:

Have a great day!

Hi,

I received my Qwiic Shield for Arduino in the mail and am examining how it would attach to the Arduino Uno WiFi Rev 2. The fit is awkward as the shield is a little too large and resting on the USB port of the Arduino. The shield header pins cannot be fully inserted into the Arduino. Has the compatibility of the shield with Arduino Uno WiFi Rev 2 been verified?

Thanks!

The pins not going in all the way is normal, it’s caused by the USB connector being higher than normal.

We haven’t tested the Qwiic Shield on the Uno WiFi V2 but it should work with this small change:

  • - Connect a jumper wire from A5 to SCL

  • - Connect a jumper wire from A4 to SDA

    • The reason for the jumper wires is that the shield was made for the regular non WiFi Uno where the I2C pins are on A4 and A5 and the Uno WiFi V2 moves those pins over to the other side of the board. With the jumpers in place, the shield will work even though it doesn’t sit flush with the Arduino.
