<!-- prettier-ignore -->
| Name                  | Type    | Required? | Description |
| --------------------- | ------- | --------- | ----------- |
| `board`               | string  | **Required** | The `name` of the [board](/reference/components/board/) to which the device is wired. |
| `i2c_bus`             | string  | **Required** | The `name` of the I<sup>2</sup>C bus configured on your [board](/reference/components/board/) wired to this device. |
| `use_alt_i2c_address` | boolean | Optional     | Depends on whether you wire AD0 low (leaving the default address of 0x68) or high (making the address 0x69). If high, set `true`. If low, set `false`. <br> Default: `false` |
