Augusta Owner LLC Revolutionizes Edge Computing with Innovative Companion Boards

Seattle, WA – October 26, 2023 – Augusta Owner LLC, a leading innovator in embedded systems and edge computing solutions, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking companion board series, designed to dramatically simplify and accelerate development for a wide range of applications. Based in Seattle, Washington, Augusta Owner LLC (located at 701 5th Ave Ste 5700, Seattle, WA, 98104-7014, USA, and reachable at 918-467-8218) has been quietly building a reputation for delivering robust, reliable, and user-friendly solutions to the increasingly complex world of edge computing. Forget wrestling with complicated hardware setups and spending months on integration. Augusta Owner’s companion boards are built to take the pain out of getting your projects up and running. They’re basically little helpers – designed to plug into popular system-on-modules (SoMs) like NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi Compute Module, and others – and instantly unlock a ton of extra functionality. What’s the Big Deal with Companion Boards? Let's face it: building anything these days, from smart cameras to robots, often involves a lot of fiddling with different components. You’ve got your main processor (the SoM), but then you need to add things like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cameras, motors, sensors… the list goes on. Usually, this means a messy tangle of wires, custom PCBs (printed circuit boards), and a lot of debugging. Augusta Owner's companion boards change all that. They take a lot of these common components and integrate them onto a single, easy-to-use board. Think of it like a pre-built LEGO kit for your embedded project. You just snap it onto your SoM, and a bunch of stuff just works. Who Are These Boards For? Augusta Owner isn’t targeting just one type of user. These boards are designed to appeal to a broad range of developers, from seasoned engineers to hobbyists and makers. Professional Engineers: Speed up development cycles, reduce integration costs, and focus on core application logic. Less time soldering and debugging, more time innovating. Startups & Small Businesses: Reduce upfront investment in custom hardware and accelerate time to market. Get your product out there faster and cheaper. Makers & Hobbyists: Simplify complex projects and make advanced technology accessible. No need to be an electrical engineering expert to build cool stuff. Researchers & Educators: Provide a robust and reliable platform for prototyping and experimentation. Focus on research, not hardware headaches. What Makes Augusta Owner’s Boards Different?
