- FEATURES
I2CDriver is an easy-to-use, open source tool for controlling I²C devices. It works with Windows, Mac, and Linux, and has a built-in color screen that shows a live “dashboard” of all the I²C activity. It uses a standard FTDI USB serial chip to talk to the PC, so no special drivers need to be installed. The board includes a separate 3.3 V supply with voltage and current monitoring.
I²CDriver Core
An I²CDriver from the first batch with 3 sets of hookup jumpers.
I²CDriver Expert
An I²CDriver from the first batch, 3 sets of hookup jumpers, 16 I²C modules, and 3 module carrier boards.
