The HyperDuino System
The HyperDuino is a "piggy-back board" (also called a "shield") for the Arduino, or any Arduino style board compatible with the Arduino Uno header layout. If you're interested in the technical details of the HyperDuino hardware and software, click here for information and features.
For "smart car" robotics projects, and advanced experimentation and invention, the HyperDuino+R board provides the most versatile and efficient platform for the Arduino available.
With the HyperDuino, project building and further experimentation is fun and efficient!
Here is a good overview video by Michael at the Programming Electronics Academy about the HyperDuino and how can be used by educators to support STEM teaching objectives as well as for adding interactivity to dioramas and posterboard projects.
Here is a list of microcontroller boards that have the same header configuration and form factor as the Arduino Uno - meaning that they are physically compatible with the HyperDuino and HyperDuino+R.

Disclaimer: It is not practical for us to personally verify each and every board on this list, but we have compiled it to the best of our ability. Before making a purchase of the HyperDuino or HyperDuino+R to be used in combination with any of these boards, please confirm for yourself the form factor of the board headers and the liklihood of the combination working as desired.
