### Hardware Support
The following hardware is targeted for a first pass at support:
- [nRF52840 Dev Kit](https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-hardware/nRF52840-DK)
- [DFRobot 2x7A DC Motor Driver](https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1534.html)
- For controlling the standard higher powered FTC legal DC motors
- [Adafruit Motor/Stepper/Servo Shield for Arduino v2](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1438)
- Good for powering multiple small DC motors or stepper motors
- [Adafruit 16-Channel 12-bit PWM/Servo Shield](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1411)
- Allows for controlling several servos while freeing up the main controllers PWM pins
- [Gravity: 10 DOF IMU](https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1793.html)
- Intertial measurement unit to stand in place of the built-in IMU on the REV control hub
