FoBE IDEA Series – Modular Prototyping Platform

The FoBE IDEA Series is a modular prototyping platform designed for DIY makers, embedded developers, and IoT engineers who need a flexible and scalable way to build, test, and iterate hardware concepts.

What Is the FoBE IDEA Series?

The IDEA Series is built around a modular and interoperable hardware architecture. A core device provides processing and communication capabilities, while flexible expansion modules add sensing, input, and interaction features. This structure allows developers to reuse the same core hardware across multiple projects and configurations.

Designed for Rapid Prototyping

By combining reusable hardware modules with open and developer-friendly software workflows, the IDEA Series helps accelerate experimentation and proof-of-concept development. It enables faster iteration without the need to redesign hardware for every new idea.

Typical Use Cases

• LoRa and mesh network prototyping
• Environmental sensing and data logging
• Flexible input and human–machine interaction experiments
• Embedded and IoT proof-of-concept development

How the Modules Work Together

IDEA Series products are designed to function as a cohesive system. A core board, such as a communication or processing device, can be combined with multiple flexible modules to extend functionality. This approach allows developers to quickly evaluate different hardware combinations without rebuilding the entire hardware stack.
