-One of the goals of the  <span class="simple">Simple<span class="foc">FOC</span>project</span> is to develop low-cost easy to use BLDC driver boards compatible with the <span class="simple">Simple<span class="foc">FOC</span>library</span>and completely open source!
+One of the goals of the  <span class="simple">Simple<span class="foc">FOC</span>project</span> is to develop low-cost easy to use BLDC driver boards compatible with the <span class="simple">Simple<span class="foc">FOC</span>library</span>and completely open source! Therefore, <span class="simple">Simple<span class="foc">FOC</span></span> team members have developed a set of boards, designed specifically for ease of use, to help you kickstart your FOC journey. In addition to being easy to use, the goal of these boards is serve as a reference design for the community to build upon. And finally, even though some of these boards are available in our [shop](https://www.simplefoc.com/shop), our docs provide a lot of documentation and step-by-step guides on how to fabricate the boards yourself.

+
+
+## Boards in the <span class="simple">Shield</span> form factor
+
+These boards are designed to be compatible with the Arduino UNO R3 headers, enabling an easy to start experience with the <span class="simple">Simple<span class="foc">FOC</span>library</span> and the Arduino IDE. The boards can be used with any board with the standard Arduino headers, such as the Arduino MEGA, STM32 Nucleo boards, Adafruit Metro, ESP32 D1 R3, Arudino UNO R4 and many others. This format enables usesr to easily exchange the microcontrollers and find the best solution for their application. The boards are fully open-source and the fabrication files are available in the respective repositories, as well as detailed guides on how to fabricate the boards yourself. The boards are additionally available in the [shop](https://www.simplefoc.com/shop) for those who prefer to buy them, as well as on other mainstream platforms like Aliexpress and Ebay (no relation to the <span class="simple">Simple<span class="foc">FOC</span>project</span>).
