Arduino Gateway Module

The Arduino Gateway Module is a custom-designed interface that enables Arduino-compatible boards to communicate with Acrome's Smart Motion Devices (SMDs). Acting as a protocol bridge, it translates serial communication signals from the Arduino into a format compatible with Acrome's RS-485-based ecosystem.

This gateway allows developers, educators, and researchers to use widely adopted Arduino platforms to control SMD modules such as motors, servos, distance sensors, LEDs, and more—unlocking the flexibility of open-source development within a modular motion control framework.

Whether you are building an automation prototype or teaching mechatronics using Arduino boards, the Arduino Gateway Module provides a simple, reliable, and scalable interface for motion and sensor integration.
