Open Studio →Our beliefs.
01
HARDWARE SHOULD ITERATE LIKE SOFTWARE
The compile-flash-debug cycle should take seconds, not hours.
02
THE BEST TOOLS DISAPPEAR
Focus on what you're building, not how to build it.
03
SAFETY IS FOUNDATIONAL
When software controls physical systems, safety comes first.
04
EVERYONE SHOULD BUILD HARDWARE
You shouldn't need an EE degree to bring machines to life.
