If you can't decide between shields and .NET Gadgeteer modules, then we'd like you to meet FEZ Cerbuino Bee. We've taken the powerful Gadgeteer-compatible FEZ Cerberus and combined it with SD, power, USB Host, USB Client and XBee modules. Next, we added Arduino-compatible headers for shields and three Gadgeteer-compatible sockets for modules. Cerbuino Bee also has Xbee headers for ZigBee or WiFi XBee modules.

Just like FEZ Cerb40, FEZ Cerbuino runs the same open-source FEZ Cerberus firmware, which is being developed by companies and community members alike. You are invited to join the project at
