The CANABLOX® Base ‘S’ with 2×2 Module Slots CX-BASE-S provides 4 CANABLOX® module slots with internal I2C bus, ground and power line. The base plate can either be used to only provide the mechanical base for your CANABLOX® project by using bus wire connections (don’t install the 4-pin headers), or to connect your modules to the I2C and 3.3V power bus by installing the 4-pin headers, which turns the base plate into a classic “backplane”. Do not use the backplane and cable connection at the same time on a module.
>>> Base plates include one 4-pin female header per slot and mounting hardware for at least 50% of the slots. <<<

This is in the bag:
1 x Base plate “S” with 2×2 module slots (4 slots total)
4 x mounting hardware for CANABLOX® modules
4 x female header 4-pins
The CANABLOX® ecosystem
CANABLOX® is a modular, clean, stackable ecosystem that replaces the chaos of traditional prototyping with I2C-connected building blocks.
CANABLOX® is not just a hobby tool; it’s a stepping stone from prototype to finished product. With over 60 modules envisioned, from environmental sensors to serial bridges and audio applications, CANABLOX® becomes a platform, not just a product.
Every CANABLOX® module connects directly to a sturdy baseplate or standardized cables, letting you build solid, real-world systems – without the clutter.
All modules use standardized CANABLOX® slot sizes and can be connected either through 4-pin JST-SH cables (compatible with Qwiic and Stemma QT) or by direct mounting onto the baseplate with headers. Every baseplate includes I2C headers (not assembled) and mounting hardware.
