Thing Plus
The Thing Plus is a footprint that is used for a board. Each board uses the same specifications (e.g. pin location, common peripherals, board dimensions, etc.) so you can easily switch between different development boards and stack shields that use the same footprint. The Thing Plus footprint is also Feather-compatible, so you can take advantage of existing shield options.
