I2C Register Descriptions for Breakout Boards
I'm planning to use a EK-TM4C123GXL to interface with the Adafruit NeoTrellis RGB Driver PCB and the Adafruit I2C Stemma QT Rotary Encoder Breakout directly over I2C (without the seesaw library). I'm having trouble finding a description of the registers available over I2C for both of these boards. Is there a place I could find a datasheet or other documentation describing their I2C interfaces?

Re: I2C Register Descriptions for Breakout Boards
Those both use microcontrollers operating as I2C slave devices, so the concept of 'registers' has to be taken lightly.
They're both based on our 'seesaw' platform, described here:
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-see ... 9-breakout
You can plug chunks of the protocol into 'register value' slots in the I2C spec, but doing so doesn't provide much new or useful insight.
The best source of information would be the firmware for the boards, which is over in our Github repo:
https://github.com/adafruit/seesaw/tree/master/boards
and the corresponding client library lives here:
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Seesaw
Between the two, you have both the sender's view and the receiver's view from both sides of any transaction.
