4.3.1 I2C

J2 and J3 are the main header pins that connect the digital and power pins to the SCB Controller or other EVMs. J3 connects to the EVM or SCB on the right, while J2 connects to more EVMs on the left. R5 and R6 are used as pullup resistors for the main digital I/O pins.

SW0 sets the I2C address of the device. This can be useful when using the EVM with a custom controller (other than the SCB Controller), or when connecting multiple EVMs together. Currently the SCB Controller and GUI are set up to use up to four EVMs at a time.

R8 is used as a pullup resistor for the ALERT pin, which is routed to both J2 and J3. LED D2 and current limiting resistor R7 are used to indicate when the ALERT pin is triggered. Header J4 and jumper H5 are used to disconnect the ALERT pin from the EVM ALERT bus by disconnecting from J3. This is primarily used when working with multiple EVMs, so that the individual ALERT LEDs can be seen on each EVM when the ALERT bus is not needed.
