Interactive props, involving lights and sounds, require a controller. This board combined with a Teensy 3.2 makes a compact solution.
What makes it special?
There are several traditional closed source solutions available in prop electronics. This product aims to use an open source platform, hardware and software, to provide props with constantly up to date technologies and algorithms.
There are many variances between open source prop controllers as well. This board aims to include the most sought-after features. For example, this board is similar to the prop shield by PJRC, with the additional benefit of being battery powered.
