ArduEcu: the groundbreaking waterproof and rugged Arduino ECU

ArduECU is an IP69K-rated waterproof, rugged and impact-resistant electronic control unit (ECU) based on an ATmega328.
The ECU can be programmed with the Arduino IDE and also supports CoDeSys, meaning you can now configure your ArduECU with ladder logic, functional block, structured text, instruction list, or sequential function charts.

ArduECU, now on Kickstarter, comes in three models:
– one for basic projects
– one for CAN bus vehicle and machine control applications
– one which converts an existing Arduino Uno into a weatherproof, custom-tailored ECU with an on-board prototyping area for your own creations and circuits.

ArduECU is compatible with all 12V to 24V systems and each model will have expansion headers to leverage IoT and wireless capabilities, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular and GPS, or to house future expansion shields with additional functionality at a later time.
