What is Arduino®
Arduino ® is an open-source prototyping platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino ®boards are able to read inputs – light-on sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message – and turn it into an output – activating of a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so, you use the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino ® software IDE (based on Processing).
Surf to www.arduino.cc and www.arduino.org for more information.
Overview
The VMA210 expansion board is designed to allow easy access of the interface pins of an Arduino®Nano.
Each DIO pin or analog pin of the Nano is brought out to a convenient header. If you add header pins, this board can also be used as an expansion shield for VMA100 and VMA101 (UNO, Mega).
