bboyho Example 1: Blink
Here's a quick example sketch to get the iconic blinking blue stat LED for Arduino blinking on the SparkFun Qwiic Micro; simply copy and paste from below, then click upload!
language:c
const int LED = 13; // Blue "stat" LED on pin 13
void setup()
{
pinMode(LED, OUTPUT); //set pin as output
digitalWrite(LED, LOW); //turn LED off
}
void loop()
{
digitalWrite(LED, HIGH); // Blue LED on
delay(250);
digitalWrite(LED, LOW); // Blue LED off
delay(250);
}
Now that you've passed the Arduino litmus test, you're all set up to start building your first project. If you haven't already, go check out our Qwiic eco-system which allows you to easily connect with sensors and other devices without the need for soldering.
In addition each add-on board within this eco-system has a library to get you started right away. For example, do you want to turn on a lamp with your SparkFun Qwiic Micro, better yet four lamps, or perhaps you'd like to see how much light your plants are getting?

Qwiic Accelerometer (MMA8452Q) Hookup Guide
Freescale’s MMA8452Q is a smart, low-power, three-axis, capacitive micro-machined accelerometer with 12-bits of resolution. It’s perfect for any project that needs to sense orientation or motion. We’ve taken that accelerometer and stuck it on a Qwiic-Enabled breakout board to make interfacing with the tiny, QFN package a bit easier.

Artemis Global Tracker Hookup Guide
The SparkFun Artemis Global Tracker combines the Artemis processor with an Iridium 9603N satellite transceiver, ZOE-M8Q GNSS transceiver, and MS8607 PHT sensor. With a clear view of the sky, this board allows you to send and receive short data messages from anywhere in the world including remote locations far beyond the reach of WiFi and GSM networks. Follow this guide to get started with the Artemis Global Tracker.
