Interfaces that let your hardware talk to your software.
A circuit board on its own rarely solves a problem. We develop the APIs and interfaces your hardware uses to deliver data to software systems and cloud platforms, and to act on signals coming back from them.
What we connect
Because we write the board design, firmware and software ourselves, both sides of an interface fit together from the start.
- Hardware to softwareYour devices deliver data to existing programs, servers or cloud platforms and accept signals from them.
- Bridges between systemsWe connect systems that the manufacturer never connected, with our own hardware in between if needed.
- Protocol to suit the environmentDepending on the use case, communication runs over MQTT, REST, UDP or HTTP.
- On the boardWe connect sensors and components to the microcontroller via I²C, SPI and CAN.
- Without touching the running systemWhere possible, we dock onto existing interfaces instead of having the existing platform rebuilt.
- On the software sideBetween programs we build interfaces with REST, GraphQL, SOAP or EDI.
From practice: the 1x1-Bridge
For a large LED screen on Kurfürstendamm, real light and smoke effects were to fire in sync with the advert, without touching the running playout system.
- Signal from the platformThe playout platform sends a signal when the advert starts, integrated without any special extension to the platform.
- 1x1-BridgeOur own circuit board with firmware receives the signal via UDP, MQTT or HTTP and acts on it in real time.
- ActuatorsSpotlights and fog machines react frame-accurately. Each stage stays replaceable, and failures stay limited to one stage.
