Help Reading Schematics for Nine Axis Motion Shield

Hello! I'm working on a project right now involving an Arduino Uno, the Arduino 9 Axis Motion Shield, and an NRF24L01, and as I'm relatively new to the world of microcontrollers I was wondering if someone could help me with reading the schematics for the shield. More specifically, which digital pins would it use? I just want to make sure it wouldn't block the NRF24L01's ability to transmit/receive data, as I've heard that it needs to use certain pins for communication (11, 12, and 13 I believe, although I could be wrong on that).

Shield Schematics

Thanks!

Communication uses I2C bus. Please check the Arduino library specs for compatibility with your controller.

Thank you for your reply! I checked the Nine Axis Motion Shield library, but there isn't anything on the Arduino website or the library's GitHub page for compatibility with other components. Is there any other place I might be able to find this?

Which Arduino are you using?

An Arduino Uno, and the shield is the Arduino Nine Axis Motion Shield (both from the official Arduino store). The components all work, I'm just not sure if the Nine Axis Motion shield is compatible with the NRF24L01 module, and so I was wondering if the schematics might give a hint as to which Arduinio pins the shield uses.

Both are unrelated.

Agreed, however, I2C (for the NRF24L01) requires connectivity to specific pins on the Uno for communication. I'm not sure if the Nine Axis Motion Shield needs those same pins, and since I'm using them together I wanted to double check that it wouldn't cause any problems. How would I check the pins the Nine Axis Motion Shield uses?

Thanks!

The pins are labeled SCL and SDA and connect to each I2C device.

Alright - I was able to use copilot on the schematics and it turns out the shield requires digital pins 2 and 7 on an Uno. I realize it was kind of a strange question to ask, but thank you for your help!
