Qwiic Assembly
Connecting to the Tristimulus Color breakout is simple. You will just need a microcontroller to process the data when using the OPT4048 and a Qwiic cable. In this case, we used a SparkFun RedBoard Qwiic.

Soldered Assembly
If you prefer to use the plated through holes on the board, you'll need to solder headers to them. Here we've soldered male headers to the breakout board and attached the jumpers as follows:
- Yellow = SCL
- Blue = SDA
- Red = 3.3V
- Black = GND
- Green = Interrupt
