Modulino™ Extender

Arduino® Modulino™ Extender makes short-range I²C communication work even over longer distances, so you can distribute Modulino devices across larger installations or enclosures.

This is a fully hardware-based node that does not require additional libraries. All you need to do is place it on the I²C bus (ideally near the controller or before the long cable run) to improve signal quality.

The Modulino collection includes a variety of plug-and-play smart components that transform complex electronics into simple, interactive projects with minimal code and maximum creativity.
Discover a new generation of ready-to-use sensors and actuators that simplify any build. Designed for makers, educators, and professionals, Modulino nodes connect effortlessly via Qwiic cables and work together as a unified system thanks to daisy-chain technology.

Start easy, advance quickly

Both beginners and experienced developers can implement sophisticated features thanks to a dedicated Modulino library (supporting both Arduino language and MicroPython).
And after the first project is done? Consistent design across all Modulino nodes gives you the flexibility to swap them and integrate them into a variety of new ideas, while breakout pins allow advanced users to push customization further.

Key benefits
