Hello,

I have been looking around for a board that I may be able to use for a task I have been given. From the looks of things, the Omega2 or 2+ would be a good option. I do have a couple questions before I buy and I figured asking the community would be better than just search around on a wiki.

Q1: Is this board tied to a cloud based service like how Particle development boards are? Or an I able to "plug and play", similar to an arduino.

Q2: Other than OEM expansion boards, are there many 3rd party expansion boards out there that are compatible with the form factor of the board.

If anyone has answers/ insight, it would be awesome.
