CatchupGroup designs, codes and supports custom embedded hardware for industry: Raspberry Pi, Arduino and ESP32 systems built for factory floors, farms, buildings and field deployments โ not hobby boards in a 3D-printed box.
What we build
- Raspberry Pi โ edge gateways, industrial kiosks and dashboards, digital signage, camera and vision systems, protocol converters, field-ready Linux devices
- Arduino โ sensor nodes and deterministic control loops where real-time response matters: pumps, motors, valves, retrofitted machine interfaces
- ESP32 โ Wi-Fi and Bluetooth telemetry, low-power battery sensors running for months, MQTT device fleets with over-the-air updates
The coding is included
- Firmware in C/C++ and MicroPython, written for the hardware, not copy-pasted from tutorials
- Integration into your systems: MQTT, HTTP, Modbus, SQL databases, existing dashboards or ones we build
- Over-the-air update pipelines so devices in the field get fixes without a site visit
- Watchdogs, power handling and failure recovery designed in โ devices that survive bad power, bad signal and bad weather
No bullshit
You own the code and the design โ no lock-in, no black boxes, no subscription to keep your own equipment running. We tell you which platform fits and which one is overkill. We do not ship proof-of-concepts that die in production, and every build is documented: wiring, code, deployment and recovery steps.
Where this runs
- Factory and plant monitoring โ machine states, counters, temperatures, alerts
- Cold chain and agriculture โ temperature chains, soil and water telemetry
- Building automation โ access, energy metering, environmental control
- Security and edge AI โ camera triggers, local inference, offline-first operation
Engagements start with the problem and the environment, not a parts list. Prototype, pilot, then production โ with the same engineers accountable end to end.

Boards and OS we ship
Raspberry Pi OS
Raspberry Pi 4/5 and Compute Module fleets on Raspberry Pi OS (Debian-based): kiosks, cameras, protocol converters, offline-first gateways.
Orange Pi
Orange Pi SBCs where the job needs more I/O or a different SoC than a Pi โ same Linux discipline, images, watchdogs and field updates.
ESP32
Espressif ESP32 for Wi-Fi/BLE telemetry, low-power sensors and MQTT fleets with OTA โ firmware in C/C++ or MicroPython.
