Arduino supports communication over I2C. If you look at the Arduino UNO pinout from the tutorial [ARDUINO UNO PINOUT], you can see that pins A4 and A5 for analog input have an alternate I2C function. A5 pin functions as a CL while A4 pin functions as a DA.

There is no minimum operating clock frequency for I2C peripheral devices, but 100KHz is typically the standard.
I2C Communication Protocol Operation:SDA and SCL, two bidirectional open-drain lines, are the only ones used for data transfer. These two lines have been raised. Data is transferred over this pin through serial data (SDA). The clock signal is carried by the serial clock (SCL).
One advantage of using PI isThe protocol I'm implementing doesn't have a convoluted address scheme like I2C. It's the simplest protocol when compared to I2C and UART.
I2C and USB 3.0 work at distinct data transmission rates: I2C operates at 400 kbit/s to 3.4Mbps (used on embedded devices), whereas USB 3.0 operates at up to 4.8Gbps.
One wire is designated [SDA] for serial data and the other [SCL] for serial clock in the I2C serial communication protocol. Another thing that is required but not typically shown in schematics is a common ground.
I2C is often faster than UART and has a peak frequency of 3.4 MHz. A few drawbacks of I2C are that it can only function in half-duplex, which means that data can only be transmitted in one direction at a time, and that it increases circuit complexity with additional memory/layout.
I2C is a protocol for communication that enables you to communicate with circuits like microcontrollers and specific sensors. Only two wires are required (very efficient!). The clock wire, frequently referred to in the datasheet as SCL, is the first wire. The data wire, often known as SDA, is the second wire.
According to the circuit design below, an I2C LCD can be directly linked to an Arduino by connecting DA pins to DA pins and CL pins to CL pins. An additional library must be installed for I2C LCDs. The next step is using the following code to link the LCD to the device's address. The specifics of each are discussed below.
