Split one Qwiic cable into five ports plus a header
The ET-A01 is built around the Five Qwiic / STEMMA QT ports on one I²C bus plus a 2.54mm header — split one cable into many. It runs from Passes VIN through (3.3V or 5V); power LED.
Two Qwiic / STEMMA QT connectors let you chain it with other boards without soldering, and the 2.54 mm header fits a breadboard.
Designed in Dubai by ElectroTrical — the full schematic, BOM and design notes are published below.
Good for
- Connecting several sensors at once
- Star wiring on a desk setup
- Classroom kits
