ArduECU MK1U Electronic Controller Unit
What is ArduECU?
ArduECU is the world’s first rugged, IP69K waterproof, Arduino compatible, electronic control unit (ECU) to be used for harsh environments. The circuitry inside of the IP69K waterproof rated enclosure is a self-contained Arduino-based Atmega 328P microcontroller platform that also has the additional capability, durability, and water resistance built-in, right out of the box. From controlling motors, servos, interfacing sensors, high voltage digital inputs and outputs, ArduECU can do all that your normal Arduino can do plus more! Now you can create Arduino based projects that are all so familiar, but finally rugged, waterproof, and robust.
