NODE+ is a patent-pending wireless sensor platform
capable of measuring, recording, and transmitting a
wide array of sensory data. NODE+ uses the latest low
energy Bluetooth® standard to communicate sensor
data to all current Apple devices.
Every NODE+ device contains a sensor array called
+Motion, capable of measuring nine degrees of motion
(a 9D0FIMU), which allows NODE+ to accurately
measure its orientation and movement. This is made
possible through the combination of a three-axis
gyroscope, a three axis accelerometer, and a three-axis
magnetometer.
Two module ports, into which a variety of sensor
modules can be inserted, provide the device with
expandable capabilities beyond the 9D0F functionality
offered by NODE+Motion.

For users with additional modules, they can
be interchanged with the included small
Phillips screwdriver as follows:
In this example, we will swap the +clima
module with the +luma module.
With your NODE+ App disconnected, remove
the two screws securing the +clima module
to your NODE+ using the mini screwdriver
included in your NODE+ package, and then
remove the module by gently pulling it off .
