| Breakout | ESP8266 |
|---|---|
| VCC/VIN | +3.3VDC |
| GND | GND |
| SCL | GPIO I2 SCL |
| SDA | GPIO I2 SDA |
| IRQ | NC |
Connect the ADD(R) pin/pad to one of the following pins/pads:
| Address | ADD(R) |
|---|---|
| 0x5A | NC |
| 0x5B | +3.3VDC |
| 0x5C | GPIO I2 SDA |
| 0x5D | GPIO I2 SCL |
Compile Tasmota with #define USE_MPR121 added in user_config_override.h
The driver will detect the I2C addresses of the MPR121s automatically. The MPR121 chip (or breakout board) must be connected to the ESP8266 and the I2C GPIO pins must be configured:
