Because I2C is a bus, you can use multiple I2C devices at the same time, providing they don't have the same I2C address (we've made sure that all of our breakouts have different addresses, and we print them on the back of the breakouts so they're easy to find).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs well as being a handy way to add functionality to your Pico, Breakout Garden is also very useful for prototyping projects without the need for complicated wiring, soldering, or breadboards, and you can grow or change up your setup at any time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you need more than three breakouts, you might be interested in our\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePico Breakout Garden Base.

Each I2C device has an address (you'll see it on the back of each breakout) that it uses to identify itself to other I2C devices, so it's effectively saying \"Hey, it's me, Bob!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've built reverse polarity protection into our\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePimoroni breakouts, meaning that there's no magic blue smoke if you accidentally plug one in the wrong way round. However, the correct way to plug them in is to make sure that the labels on the pins on your breakout and the labels on each Breakout Garden slot match up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe markings on the base will show you which way round to plug in your Pico - just match up the USB port with the markings on the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePico Breakout Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're in the process of writing\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eC++ \/ MicroPython drivers\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efor as many of our breakouts as possible - here's a list of the breakouts that are currently supported.
