What’s a Tower System?
The Tower System is a modular and re-configurable development platform designed to speed your time to market and reduce your hardware investment. This modular approach allows you to design and develop embedded systems for many different applications. Each module in the Tower System is sold individually or as a complete kit. Over time, new modules and kits will become available as part of the Tower System. With hardware schematics provided, you can even design your own custom module.
