Just Around the Corner...
The best boards to build with Bottango!
These new control boards are just around the corner... watch this space!
Bottango’s control lineup is the easiest and most powerful way to build with Bottango. Deeply integrated with Bottango’s animatronic control software, these boards remove the guesswork from control hardware. Configure your setup and create animations directly in Bottango’s design studio.
Want to customize? Every board in the lineup ships with open-source firmware, ready to flash with your own tweaks and modifications. Or simply plug in and start animating your show right away.
Made to work together. You can designate one board as a low-latency wireless “bridge,” connected to your computer, while the rest of your boards link wirelessly through it. Want to go computer-free? Export animation data directly to the bridge and let it act as a standalone show controller for all connected boards. Bottango Nova is purpose-built to be the perfect bridge and show controller, but any board in the lineup can take on that role.
Part of a community. You’re not on your own! Join other makers, builders, and animatronic show-stoppers already using Bottango control boards to create amazing animatronic art.
