# Supported Hardware

Pretty much any nrf52840 that you can load an arduino sketch onto. E.g.

* [SEEED XIA0 nrf52840](https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/seeed-xiao-ble-nrf52840-supports-arduino-micropython-bluetooth5-0-with-onboard-antenna). Super small - will take a lipo if you solder onto the back batt pins
* [Adafruit nrf52840 express](https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/adafruit-feather-nrf52840-express). A great develeopment board. Has a spare button for you to use as either a pairing button or sending button.
* [Adafruit itsybitsy nrf52840](https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/adafruit-itsybitsy-nrf52840-express-bluetooth-le). Same as the feather - but smaller and slight less flashy

And for the dongle

* This is nice as its all in one piece. [nrf52840 USB key](https://thepihut.com/products/nrf52840-usb-key-with-tinyuf2-bootloader-bluetooth-low-energy-mdbt50q-rx)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.acecentre.org.uk/products/open-wireless-switch-ows/supported-hardware.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
