Made in the USA - Sent Everywhere

Our technology has been deployed in all sort of environments, from the BattleBots arena, to hot and cold deserts, to the ocean, to space – even to kindergarten! What we build for you is going to withstand any challenge.

We take “No job too big or too small” seriously, from providing support for a $15 audioserial modem module to taking responsibility for a $15M solar tracking system.

Open Source Commitment

We design with customization in mind, and make the source code for our retail products available for free. We believe that power over technology should reside with the user rather than the manufacturer, and actively oppose vendor lock-in: most of our products have prototyping areas covered by the warranty! We are happy to give back to the maker community in the form of a range of open source designs and code snippets.
