# Introduction

The [Inter-Integrated Circuit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%C2%B2C) (I2C) is one of the main communication protocols used for connecting peripherals to [Compute Stations](https://computestation.com).

# Multiple Peripherals

A major advantage of I2C is that multiple peripherals can be connected to it over only TWO wires!

Although the [Mesh Station 2023](https://discuss.88.io/t/mesh-station/295/7#headers-6) (MS23) only has one set of I2C headers, it can be used to drive multiple peripherals.
