Redback WiFi Platform Compatible With Arduino Nano

Introduction

Have a project that is space constrained? Want to also get wireless connectivity out of it? Introducing the YellowJacket, an Arduino compatible device based on the Arduino mini. This is as small as it can get with the wireless module. The YellowJacket is a two side surface mount device, so you'll need to plan accordingly for components on both sides of the board in your wireless project.

Similar to the Arduino mini and to conserve space, the YellowJacket will require a USB breakout board to be able to program it. We will be providing the YellowJacket in two variants. One will have a 90° male header attached along one of the shorter edges to allow for easy connection to the USB breakout board. The other will have no header, and will require you to come up with your own mechanism for programming the device (i.e. spring clips).
