Hardware Assembly
Qwiic Cable
The simplest method to connect a microcontroller to a Qwiic Human Presence/Motion Sensor board is through the Qwiic connector.

Info
The Qwiic connection system is a standardized solderless, polarized connector interface that allows users to seamlessly daisy chain I2C boards together.
Remove Tape
Users with the mini version of the Qwiic Human Presence/Motion Sensor board should remove the tape covering the Qwiic connector.
Note
The tweezers are not necessary, they were only used for illustration purposes. (Fingers would have obscured the camera shot.)
Info
The tape is used by the pick-and-place machine to place the connector on the board during assembly.
Breakout Pins
The PTH pins on the Qwiic Human Presence/Motion Sensor board are broken out into 0.1"-spaced pins on the outer edge of the board.
