Seamlessly Integrate Power-Hungry Sensors With Qwiic
Power up your 5V I2C devices on the Qwiic system! This tutorial demonstrates how to utilize the SparkFun Qwiic 5V Boost to integrate power-hungry sensors, such as the SEN55, seamlessly.
The SparkFun Qwiic AP3012K 5V Boost converts the logic-level and boost the power of the Qwiic connect system from 3.3V, to 5V on its PTH pins. This is handy for connecting any I2C device that requires a higher supply voltage, such as super bright LEDs or mechanisms like a DC fan on our air quality sensors. On the board, we also provide 3V3/5V jumpers, which can be used to configure the logic-levels of the I2C PTH pins. Therefore, this board can be utilized to connect an I2C device that requires any combination of 3.3V/5V for its power and/or signals.

In this project tutorial we'll cover the hardware and how to utilize the Qwiic 5V Boost with the Sensirion SEN55 Sensor (but you can use the SEN54 or SPS30, instead).
