Skill Level - Competent: We think smôl is brilliant and we will be releasing more smôl boards over the coming months. We have plans for: environmental monitoring, IMU, RFID, radio and GNSS peripheral boards; plus additional processor boards. However, we recognize that the smôl format is - intentionally - very small and that the FPC connections can be a little bit fiddly until you get used to working with them. So, we're recommending smôl for those with Level 3 (Competent) DIY and Electrical Prototyping skills:
- Whether it's for assembling a kit, hacking an enclosure, or creating your own parts; the DIY skill is all about knowing how to use tools and the techniques associated with them.
- If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
