Versioning

For convenience modules are versioned in semver-like fashion (e.g. v1.0 -> v1.1) an current version is placed on the bottom side of all boards.

Manufacturers, enthusiasts and MICRORACK team itself may add minor improvements to some module designs over time and increment its version.

Consistent Platform

New creative modules and accessories may emerge but main system standards remains the same across manufacturers and enthusiasts.

MICRORACK Specification provides stable design foundations for seamless experience across designs, while building blocks variability grows with community and further enriching your setups.
