Quick compatibility callouts
Not all sensor accessories are plug-and-play. When choosing connectors or cables, match signal type (digital I2C/SPI, analog voltage, 1-Wire) and the connector pinout used by your module. For example, many Adafruit and popular development boards use JST SH or Grove-style connectors; confirm pin orientation before ordering to avoid rework.
