While I²C and 1-wire are designed to allow dozens of devices connected to the same bus, most boards - including the NodeMCU - provide only one pin for the I²C lines (SCL and SDA). To connect multiple I²C devices, one usually needs to resolve to clumsy breadboards. + +This board is a simple, small breakout board for the NodeMCU, which is attached to only one side of the NodeMCU. It provides multiple I²C and 1-wire connections.
