Well the board is bluetooth compatible right? So it's not like they opened up or anything. They just found a way to way to make it work. Watch the video and you'll see. They opened nothing. They just show how it would look if it was. Those diagrams are of the sensors or something I think. But they never opened it up looks like. They just found a way to use the bluetooth.
