• Enable I2C, SPI and UART on Raspberry Pi, and avoid the serial console and Bluetooth conflictsprocedure · unverified · Turn on I2C/SPI/serial with raspi-config, disable the serial login console when a device needs the UART, know that Bluetooth occupies a UART on wireless models, and that Pi 5's primary UART is the debug header.
• Enable I2C, SPI, UART and custom device-tree overlays on Orange Pi OS: /boot/orangepiEnv.txtprocedure · unverified · On Orange Pi's Debian/Ubuntu images the boot script reads /boot/orangepiEnv.txt. List kernel-provided overlays in overlays=, add your own .dts with orangepi-add-overlay (goes to user_overlays=), and reboot. Never edit the boot script directly.
• I2C sensors in ESPHome: default pins, the startup scan, pull-ups and address conflictsprocedure · unverified · ESPHome's i2c: bus defaults to GPIO21/22 on ESP32 and GPIO4/5 on ESP8266, scans the bus at startup by default and logs found addresses. Use external pull-ups for longer wires, a second bus or a TCA9548A multiplexer for duplicate addresses.
