Welcome to rfDUINO.

rfDUINO is an Arduino and a RF low cost module all in the same package.
It can add RF communication to your projects and still use the Arduino easy programming.
It was designed so it could be used as standalone module powered by two rechargeable AAA batteries, alternatively it can be used on a breadboard or embedded in an application.
Its GPIO pins are accessible so that different shields can be used to add sensors and/or actuators to your rfDUINO like you used to do on a normal Arduino.

For now 2 versions are avaiable of rfDUINO.
(1) Standard version – without FTDI and with AAA holder
(2) Breadboard version – with FTDI and without AAA holder

specs:
uC: atmega328
RF: nRF24l01+ (2.4GHz , 250kbps-2Mbps)
power: 2x AAA ( max.input ~3V )
output:
5x analog (or 3adc and I2C pins)
5x digital (or 3dig and 2x PWM pins)
Capable of turn off the shields for low power consumption
