Choose which shield we should use (optionally more than one):

Arduino custom shield
Shield n.1 https://www.amazon.com/10pcs-XD-212-Multifunction-Expansion-arduino/dp/B0BYXYZF6W
Shield n.2 https://wiki.dfrobot.com/Arduino_Nano_IO_Shield__SKU__DFR0012
Other options?

Arduino custom shield: CONS:

Needs to be produced/open sourced
The 3d design has to be modified (the board is larger)

PRO:

has the ability to connect the power-switch
The design is clever with connector on the top part

Shield N1 ~5 euro: CONS:

needs a screw terminal for the battery connector
bridge between VIN and 5V with soldering iron

PRO:

we already have the 3d design (needs only a little fix for the barrel jack)

Shield N2 ~25 euro: CONS:

The 3d design has to be modified (the board is larger)
It's the most expensive one

PRO:

with the use of a female-female jumper (VIN + / Power_Sel VCC) we don't have to use soldering iron to bridge stuff

For the milestone 1, we are using the wiring on a breadboard
