I2C Breakout Garden Extender Kit (3 pairs)

by Pimoroni

Use these extenders with some female-to-female jumper jerky (available separately) to extend the reach of your Pimoroni I2C breakouts.

This kit contains three I2C Breakout Extenders, that you can slot Pimoroni I2C breakouts into, and three I2C Garden Extenders, that slot into Breakout Garden I2C slots. Connect them using female-to-female jumper jerky and extend where your breakouts go!

The I2C Breakout Extenders also let you use Pimoroni  I2C breakouts without Breakout Garden by popping an I2C breakout into the socket and connecting them directly to your Pi, Arduino, or other micro controller with jumper jerky. You can also use the  I2C Breakout Extender sockets directly in breadboards to use our I2C breakouts for prototyping.

Use the I2C Garden Extenders to use other I2C breakouts with Breakout Garden. They pop into the I2C slots on Breakout Garden and connect with jumper jerky to an I2C breakout.

If you don't already have some, then add some jumper jerky as an "Essential extra".

Raspberry Pi, Breakout Garden HAT, jumper jerky, and breakout shown not included.

Great for letting you have breakouts on flexible leads or, as I did, connect the breakout to a breadboard easily. They snap in place just as well as breakouts do in the original gardens.

These are a bit expensive in my opinion but they are quite useful especially if you want to use some of the Pimoroni breakout boards with more than just a Raspberry Pi. With these you can connect them to a breadboard or to header wires without having to solder connectors onto the breakout boards (which would make it impossible to plug them into the Breakout Garden PCB). It's a bit annoying that SPI and I2C have different footprints so these are not interchangeable but that's just a minor inconvenience.
