As an open source project, its code and design specifications are available to anyone and the design was created with modification in mind. It's extensible with additional boards called "decks" - similar to Arduino shields - that are connected through two rows of pin headers.

The following decks are currently available:

  • LED-ring deck
  • Qi wireless charging deck
  • SD-card deck
  • Prototyping deck
  • BigQuad deck
