Briefly introduced: Nokia 5110 Monochrome LCD module with 84×48 pixels

The LCD display which was originally used in the Nokia 5110 has indeed found a long time ago the way to a breakout board, but it is still simple useful for various microcontroller boards, because it can be relatively easily controlled and programmed.

Briefly introduced: Arduino Mega 2560

After a few small projects with the Arduino you may realize that the program memory for the sketches is rather small sized. So it is time to search for something bigger. You should look at the Arduino Mega 2560, which almost brings much more program memory, tons of new ports, more variable memory and additional static EEPROM memory with it. It is worth noting that the board has 4 hardware serial ports, which makes communication between other Arduinos much easier.

Briefly introduced: The nRF24L01+ Module – an inexpensive and network-ready 2.4GHz Transceiver Development Board

The nRF24L01+ module, based on the eponymous Nordic Semiconductor chip from Norway, is an easy-to-use radio transmitter and receiver. With it, radio transmission up to 100 meters are possible, even more with an additional antenna and amplifier. It is suitable for the transmission of data between two Arduinos, as well as in larger sensor networks with multiple coupled radio modules.
