Flexible Qwiic Cable (100 mm): Use these to connect up to four Qwiic boards in your kit.
RGB and Gesture Sensor (APDS-9960): This board does a little bit of everything. You can measure ambient light or color as well as detect proximity and do gesture sensing all over I2C.
Soil Moisture Sensor (with screw terminals): Ever wonder if your plant needs water? This sensor outputs an analog signal based on the resistance of the soil. Since water is conductive, the soil water content will be reflected in the soil resistance.
Sound Detector: Ever need to know if there is noise in an area? This board will not only tell you, but it will also output amplitude as well as the full audio signal.
Break Away Headers (Straight): Solder these pins to any of the breakouts to prototype on a breadboard. You'll want to solder these to boards that do not have Qwiic connectors such as the gesture sensor and sound detector.
