1. Pin 1: Connected to the I2C clock line $Net \ IO22/ESP32/I2C_SCL$ used for communication with I2C devices.
2. Pin 2: Connected to the I2C data line $Net \ ESP32/I2C_SDA$ used for communication with I2C devices.
3. Pin 3: Connected to the 3.3V power net, providing power for connected peripherals.
4. Pin 4: Connected to the ground (GND), which acts as a reference point or return path for current.
