AUTUS FORTUNA LLC Launches Innovative Companion Board, Simplifying Complex Systems Integration
PORTLAND, OR – October 26, 2023 – AUTUS FORTUNA LLC, a US-based engineering firm specializing in embedded systems and custom hardware solutions, today announced the release of its highly anticipated companion board. Designed to streamline development and deployment of complex projects, this board promises to significantly reduce integration time and cost for engineers across a wide range of industries. AUTUS FORTUNA LLC, located at 18101 SW Boones Ferry Rd Ste 250, Portland, OR, 97224-7655, has been quietly building a reputation as a problem-solver for companies needing bespoke hardware and deep systems expertise. For years, they’ve worked behind the scenes, tackling challenging projects for clients who demand reliability and innovative solutions. “We saw a real need in the market for a more flexible and user-friendly approach to integrating complex systems,” explains a spokesperson for AUTUS FORTUNA. “Too many projects get bogged down in tedious wiring, complicated software setups, and endless compatibility issues. We built this companion board to fix that.” So, what exactly is a companion board, and why is this one different? In simple terms, it’s a bit like a central hub that takes all the different pieces of a project – sensors, microcontrollers, communication modules, and more – and brings them together in a neat, organized package. Traditionally, engineers would have to build this hub themselves, often spending weeks or even months on the design, prototyping, and testing. This is where AUTUS FORTUNA’s board comes in. “We’ve essentially pre-built a lot of the heavy lifting,” says the spokesperson. “Our companion board provides a standardized interface and a robust power supply, along with a bunch of pre-configured connectors and essential components. This means engineers can focus on their core innovation – the unique features of their project – rather than getting stuck on the plumbing.” Key Features & Benefits: Universal Compatibility: The board is designed to work with a wide range of microcontrollers, including popular options like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and STM32. “We wanted to make it as open as possible,” explains the spokesperson. “We didn’t want to lock anyone into a specific ecosystem.” This broad compatibility makes it a versatile tool for both hobbyists and professional engineers. Simplified Wiring: Forget about messy, tangled wires! The board features clearly labeled connectors and a logical layout, making it easy to connect peripherals and sensors. “We've spent a lot of time thinking about ergonomics,” the spokesperson explains. “We want engineers to be able to quickly and easily understand how everything connects.” Robust Power Supply: Providing stable and reliable power is critical for any electronic project. The companion board includes a high-quality power supply that can handle a variety of voltage and current requirements. “We've incorporated protection circuits to prevent damage from power surges or accidental short circuits,” says the spokesperson. Built-in Communication Interfaces: The board features a variety of built-in communication interfaces, including USB, UART, SPI, and I2C. This allows engineers to easily connect the board to a computer or other devices for data logging, debugging, and control. “These interfaces are essential for building connected systems,” explains the spokesperson. “They allow you to easily transmit data to and from the board.” Expansion Capabilities: Need more functionality? The board features a number of expansion slots and headers, allowing you to add custom hardware or connect additional peripherals. “We've designed the board to be modular,” explains the spokesperson. “You can easily add or remove components as needed.” Open-Source Software Support: AUTUS FORTUNA understands the importance of open-source software. The company provides detailed documentation, sample code, and libraries to help engineers get started quickly. "We believe in the power of collaboration," says the spokesperson. “We want to empower our customers to build amazing things.” Target Applications: The applications for this companion board are incredibly diverse. AUTUS FORTUNA sees potential in a wide range of industries, including: Robotics: Simplifying the integration of sensors, motors, and controllers for robots of all sizes. IoT (Internet of Things): Providing a reliable and flexible platform for building connected devices. Automation: Streamlining the development of automated systems for industrial, agricultural, and home applications. Data Logging: Providing a robust and accurate platform for collecting and analyzing data from sensors. Prototyping: Accelerating the prototyping process for new electronic products. Educational Projects: Providing a hands-on learning platform for students and hobbyists. “We’ve already seen some exciting projects being built with our board,” says the spokesperson. “From smart agriculture sensors to custom robotics platforms, the possibilities are endless.” About AUTUS FORTUNA LLC: AUTUS FORTUNA LLC is a US-based engineering firm specializing in embedded systems and custom hardware solutions.
