* Nanode provides the same Arduino shield connectors allowing the system to be expanded by stacking boards on top. When using shields for expansion, you have to be aware that not all shields are fully compatible because of the on-board hardware utilisations mentioned above. * Nanode is produced as a build it yourself kit using conventional through-hole components. This is to encourage people to engage in the rewarding experience of building their own electronic devices and have a go at creating new and fascinating projects. Nanode is fully open source and all of the design documentation may be accessed from this site.
