Gravity: I2C 4-20mA DAC Module

I2C DAC module with 0–25 mA output range, calibrated to the standard 4–20 mA industrial current loop. Compatible with Arduino; useful for driving actuators such as motors and pumps.

VCC
Gravity/I2C logic-side power input. The DFRobot wiki specifies 2.7V-5V I2C signal high level, and the schematic labels the connector VCC net.
