 # Squidworks Moduleboard w/ the ATSAMD51
 
+This is a small, solder-on breakout board for the [squidworks](https://gitlab.cba.mit.edu/squidworks/squidworks) project. It contains all necessary components to run [ponyo](https://gitlab.cba.mit.edu/squidworks/ponyo) with great ease, and provides USB and RS485-Over-RJ10 connectivity. It breaks out almost all other pins of the SAMD51 microprocessor onto it's castellated pins (at the edges) and it's LGA pads (on the bottom).
