Thank you PCBWay for supporting this tutorial and helping users learn more about electronics.
What I like about the PCBWay is that you can get 10 boards for approximately $5 which is really cost effective for professional made boards, not to mention how much time you save!
Go check them out here. They also offer a lot of other stuff in case you might need it like assembly, 3D printing, CNC machining and a lot more.
Note: Make sure to disconnect the power from Arduino, when you replace the I2C MODULE/SENSOR 1 / 2 Start Visuino as shown in the first picture Click on the "Tools" button on the Arduino component (Picture 1) in Visuino When the dialog appears, select "Arduino UNO" as shown on Picture 2 1 / 5 In Visuino, at the bottom click on the "Build" Tab, make sure the correct port is selected, then click on the "Compile/Build and Upload" button. If you power the Arduino module, The LED Display will show the I2C address of the connected sensor or module. Congratulations! You have completed your project with Visuino. Also attached is the Visuino project, that I created for this tutorial, you can download it and open it in Visuino: https://www.visuino.eu
Step 3: The Circuit
Step 6: In Visuino Connect Components
Step 7: Generate, Compile, and Upload the Arduino Code
