If you’ve recently picked up your first Raspberry Pi it sure doesn’t look like any computer you’re accustomed to, so let’s talk through the basics to get your Raspberry Pi up and running as a full desktop.

Welcome to the Qwiic Kit for Raspberry Pi V2 hookup guide. Here we are going to get started with some of the basics surrounding I2C and Python on your Raspberry Pi.

The SparkFun Qwiic Multiport adds additional ports to boards that have only one Qwiic port on their I2C bus. Once added, you can use it as a hub to add as many I2C devices to the bus as you need [1] ! You can also use the board as an alternative to a daisy chained configuration.

The SparkFun GPS ZED-F9R is the next iteration of u-blox's GPS offerings!

This tutorial will go over connecting Qwiic-enabled devices, installing their Python packages, and running the example code.
