The Raspberry Pi's I2C pins are an extremely useful way to talk to many different types of external peripheral; from the MCP23017 digital IO expander, to a connected ATmega.
The i2c pins include a fixed 1.8k pull-up resistor to 3.3v. This means they are not suitable for use as general purpose IO where a pull-up is not required.
You can verify the address of connected I2C peripherals with a simple one-liner:
```bash

SDA (i2c Data) is one of the i2c pins on the Pi, [learn more about i2c](/pinout/i2c).
It's easy to get started writing a digital HIGH or LOW to a GPIO pin, but you've got to remember a few things:
* Run your script as root
* Set your pin's mode to OUTPUT (1)
SDA includes a fixed, 1.8k pull-up to 3.3v, which means this pin is not suitable for use as a general purpose IO where no pullup resistor is desired.
