| The DigiX is an Arduino-compatible development board, with a set of unique features: DigiX has a 32-bit 84 MHz MCU, embedded low power Wi-Fi (b/g/n) and mesh networking, 99 usable i/o pins, audio output, USB on the go support, and is 100% compatible with anything that works with the Arduino Due - no adapters, code changes, or special software needed! This is the ultimate Arduino compatible development board, ready for any project! | The DigiX is an Arduino-compatible development board, with a set of unique features: DigiX has a 32-bit 84 MHz MCU, embedded low power Wi-Fi (b/g/n) and mesh networking, 99 usable i/o pins, audio output, USB on the go support, and is 100% compatible with anything that works with the Arduino Due - no adapters, code changes, or special software needed!

| - | The DigiX has the popular (as well as low power and feature rich) nRF24L01+ module - on board! This means you can easily talk to other (super cheap) nRF24L01+ modules attached to all kinds of devices - other DigiXs, Arduinos, Digisparks, RaspberryPis, and more. The DigiX can act as the Mesh Network to WiFi hub for your connected home or several DigiXs can communicate locally via Mesh Networking and connect to the world via the WiFi. | + | The DigiX has the popular (as well as low power and feature rich) nRF24L01+ module - on board!

| - | We made the DigiX as small as we could affordably make it - and it was so close the the size of an Arduino Due/Mega that we decided to make it 100% form factor compatible. We also provide a bunch of extra pins - but we hate having to pay extra just to be able to connect things. You can plug in any Due compatible (Arduino 1.0 Pinout / R3 or newer compatible shields or Due shields) shield, without buying any adapters that add bulk, cost, and complexity. Additionally, we have released a [[levelshifter|Level Shifting Shield]], to allow the use of legacy pre-R3/1.0 shields. | + | We made the DigiX as small as we could affordably make it - and it was so close the the size of an Arduino Due/Mega that we decided to make it 100% form factor compatible.

| If it works on the Due it will work on the DigiX! The number of Due compatible libraries is exploding - we didn't want to compete, we wanted to contribute - so we've made sure that the DigiX works with all the existing Due code and libraries (and like the Due, it works with many Arduino Uno libraries as well) - | If it works on the Due it will work on the DigiX!
