01 / FIELD KIT
One instrument.
Many layers.
Choose a layer to see how AQROOT turns separate interfaces into one coherent field workflow.
02 / ARCHITECTURE
Different signals.
One clear system.
AQROOT coordinates compute, radios, identification, optical links, storage, and physical I/O without hiding how they connect.

03 / BUILD LOG
Progress you can
actually inspect.
AQROOT is not presented as a finished product. Decisions, validation, and unresolved work stay visible as the instrument develops.
Core subsystems were tested before being committed to the Beta electrical design.
Complete
The custom PCB and software stack are under active development and review.
Active development
Field Slate is the direction; joint mechanical and PCB geometry still require revision.
Exploration
04 / OPEN SOURCE
Inspect it.
Question it.
Improve it.
AQROOT is being built so the engineering record is as open as the code and hardware it describes.
Open the repositoryCERN-OHL-S v2
Strongly reciprocal open-hardware licensing for the covered source and derived products.
MIT License
Permissive software licensing for AQROOT firmware and related code.
Decisions stay traceable.
Pin maps, RF planning, power decisions, validation notes, and unresolved risks live beside the design.
RESPONSIBLE USE
Capability requires permission.
AQROOT is intended for hardware development, authorized security research, diagnostics, education, and lawful experimentation. Users are responsible for permission, spectrum rules, and local law.
05 / QUESTIONS
Before you ask.
Still curious? Good. That is exactly who AQROOT is for.
Is AQROOT a finished product?
No. It is in active development. The Beta electronics, firmware, and production mechanical design are still evolving.
Is AQROOT open source?
Yes. The covered hardware is planned under CERN-OHL-S v2 and firmware under the MIT License.
What is AQROOT built for?
Authorized hardware exploration, embedded development, wireless research, diagnostics, and education.
Where can I follow the build?
The GitHub repository is the source of truth for code, design records, status, and open technical questions.
