Without the twist, you'd need Qwiic IN and Qwiic OUT connector on each board and would need to pay attention to where you were plugging in devices. Plugging an out into another out (or in to another in) and things would break.</p>

So when you connect two QWIIC devices, you have to twist the cable 180 degrees if you want both devices to sit on a flat surface with the component side of each device facing up. Does anyone know why Sparkfun designed the QWIIC cables this way?</p>
