Requirements


This shield can be used with boards which provide an I2C connector, for example STEMMA QT or Qwiic connectors. The target board must define a zephyr_i2c node label. See :ref:shields for more details.

Pin Assignments

+--------------+-----------------------+ | Shield Pin | Function | +==============+=======================+ | SDA | MCP9808 I2C SDA | +--------------+-----------------------+ | SCL | MCP9808 I2C SCL | +--------------+-----------------------+ | A0 | MCP9808 I2C address | +--------------+-----------------------+ | ALERT | MCP9808 interrupt out | +--------------+-----------------------+

In order to use interrupts you need to connect a separate wire from the shield to a GPIO pin on your microcontroller board. See :dtcompatible:jedec,jc-42.4-temp for documentation on how to adjust the devicetree file.

Programming


Set --shield adafruit_mcp9808 when you invoke west build. For example when running the :zephyr:code-sample:jc42 temperature measurement sample:

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/sensor/jc42 :board: adafruit_qt_py_rp2040 :shield: adafruit_mcp9808 :goals: build
