The RADiuS Shield is Open Hardware...an easy to use wireless solution for Arduino compatible microcontrollers. Well... really, it will work with just about anything that can talk RS232.

Here is the bill of materials (BOM) for the RADiuS Shield! Enjoy!

What is the RADiuS? It's an Open Hardware Arduino-compatible shield for the easyRadio Advanced RF Module from Low Power Radio Solutions.
