Rugged Circuits has been providing Arduino compatible hardware solutions for over 17 years. All of our products are handcrafted and designed in the United States. We invented the ruggedized market for Arduino with the introduction of our now famous Ruggeduino Uno derivative board. Our products are engineered with built-in safeguards to stave off failure and also operate in industrial environments with 24V connectivity. Our products are intended for those needing a hardware solution that can operate more reliably while leveraging the Arduino ecosystem. Protection against ESD, over/under voltage, over/undercurrent, and reverse polarity make our off-the-shelf hardware solutions unbeatable. Whether you are looking to develop a new product or integrate at the OEM level, need bulletproof hardware for educational curriculum, updating industrial systems, or have anything in between, Rugged has a proven solution. Check out our full line of innovative and industrial ready Arduino compatible products here.

Need something special? Do you have an idea or contract and need help with the design? Rugged Circuits also specializes in the custom hardware design and manufacturing if one of our off-the-shelf solutions doesn’t align with your needs. We have the ability to engineer hardware to match your specifications and needs. We offer PCB design and layout services with PCBA prototype manufacturing and testing solutions. Additionally we provide full turn-key manufacturing services optimized for small to medium sized quantity builds. We don’t have quantity requirements in the thousands to offer our assistance. Our services are particularly attractive to companies who need help taking an idea to market and don’t know where to go and to those who understand the benefits of having all of these services under one roof. Having the engineer who designed the product being able to physically test prototypes and oversee production is the Rugged advantage! Take note we specialize in Arduino and non-Arduino based designs, so sky is the limit to what we can design for you. Interested? Check out our custom design page here.

THE RUGGED ADVANTAGES

The table below displays the differences between a standard Arduino Uno R3 and the Rugged Circuits Ruggeduino. The Ruggeduino is compatible with the Arduino IDE and has the same shape, form factor, and header profile as the Uno. The Ruggeduino however with its advantages can be used in various applications and locations including 24 Industrial systems where regular Arduino boards will simply fail.

Our SAFEGUARDS protect against these 10 REAL WORLD Examples

The “10 Ways to Destroy and Arduino” article shows the "little things" in our circuitry that make a "big difference" in performance and reliability. This article provides an in depth look at just how easy it is to damage a standard Arduino and how we have thoughtfully created safeguard solutions integrated into our Rugged products. The Ruggeduino SE/ET and Rugged MEGA and our family of microcontroller boards PROTECT you from ALL 10 methods of destruction making them your next ideal Arduino derivative board.
