We are sold out of arduino nano RP2040 which is required to make this PCB function. However they are easily available on amazon. Most other Arduino nanos will also work (Nano ESP32, BLE-33, 33IOT)
This Project requires Soldering, and simple Arduino programming. Nothing that a beginner can't learn online. All Code is available for this project and ready for upload to the board.
