# X-NODEs X-NODE’s are development boards that make it possible to quickly and easily evaluate sensors, actuators and communication modules that enables easy proof of concept and quick time to market for IoT designs. ## Features

### Easy & flexible The X-NODE’s are Systems on a Module (SoMs), it’s built-in driver allows the use of sensors, actuators and communication modules, therefore technical knowledge of hardware is not needed in order to use it, it communicates with MCU’s using a 2 Wire I2C serial interface or through ASCII commands using a UART serial interface, the latter allows this X-NODE to be compatible with virtually any system that uses a microcontroller, microprocessor, or even industrial equipment. ### Compatibility The X-NODE Digital Outputs is compatible with the mikroBUS™ standard, that enables its use with Mikroe® development ecosystem with 1000+ click boards and development boards including X-NODE devices. It also comes with two 4-pin JST connectors compatible with Sparkfun’s Qwiic connection system to expand its compatibility even further in a fast and easy way.
