Description 
.....................................................
Industruino is great in any situation where you want to give your Arduino based project a permanent home, which is rugged (no more dangly wires) and affordable.
Industruino aims to give tinkerers/makers the means to quickly install an Arduino based solution anywhere they previously thought of doing so, but had resisted to sacrifice a precious development board.
Applications
.....................................................
- Home automation
- Interactive installations
- Research projects
- Product integration
- Rapid prototyping of electronics
- Interactivity/electronics teaching
Industruino is an Arduino compatible board housed in a DIN-rail mountable casing. The system is split into two PCB boards, the main control board at the top and an empty prototyping board at the bottom. The two boards are connected to each other with a FFC cable.
By default all I/O pins are routed to the detachable screw connectors on the bottom board. These connections can be re-routed, for use inside on the proto-board, by removing the 0Ω resistors.
Features
.....................................................
- DIN-rail mountable:
There is a large choice of other devices available in the DIN form factor, such as power supplies and relay modules that can all be connected to Industruino.
- Fully enclosed:
Once your project has passed the prototyping stage you can add your custom components to the empty prototyping area inside Industruino, and fully enclose everything to become a well finished product.
- Prototyping area with re-routable connections using jumpers:
All I/O and power are by default routed to the screw connectors, but can be disconnected and thus routed to the internal prototyping are on the baseboard by desoldering 0Ω resistors.
- All I/O and power available through detachable screw connectors:
The screw connectors allow to make a robust connection between sensors/actuators and Industruino, whilst still allowing to quickly unplug the connectors as a whole. This way all wiring can be completed as a single loom and repeatedly be connected and disconnected.
- Enclosure made from biodegradable polymer:
We intend to find ways of improving the environmental sensitivity and sustainability of Industruino. For now the enclosure, a large part of the total mass of the product, has been made from biodegradable polymer.
- 3 button membrane panel:
A membrane panel with 3 tactile buttons on the left of the LCD screen, allowing to input data and navigate menus, occupies a single analog input for read-out (A5). We can also customise the membrane panels with different button layouts, graphics and branding at your request.
- Pre-loaded with interactive LCD menu firmware:
- 48x84 pixels LCD screen with backlight:
- Fully compatible with the Arduino IDE

Industruino Beta 3 Schematic>>
Beta 3 Version
........................................................
The last two months we have been working hard to improve Industruino based on the feedback that we received from our early beta testers.
Industruino Beta 3 includes the following improvements:
1. Reassignment of LCD screen pins to least valuable pins on the Atmega32u4, thus freeing-up more valuable pins for general use.
2. Easier assembly and disassembly of the unit, achieved by moving the membrane button panel connector to the top of PCB, and increasing the length of the ribbon connector.
3. Membrane buttons moved to the right hand side of the screen improving ergonomics for right handed users (I'm a lefty, my mistake with Beta 2).
4. Change from Mini-USB to Micro-USB (the reduced thickness of a Micro-USB cable's plug has added the benefit of being able to use it as a tool to open the enclosure, thank you Thomas, for the tip!).
