BlueStack – Modular Embedded Electronics Platform (CM5, Power, BMS, PLC Communication)

Hi,

I’d like to introduce BlueStack, a modular embedded electronics platform designed for marine and industrial systems.

The objective is to reduce hardware development time while keeping a robust and flexible architecture suitable for real deployments.

Current modules:

  • CM5 Core Board

    • Based on Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5
    • USB, HDMI, GPIO, PCIe and Ethernet
    • Designed for integration rather than prototyping
  • Power Board

    • Battery or external power input
    • Stable and protected power distribution
  • BMS LC30 Board (Tyva Systems)

    • Battery monitoring, protection and balancing
    • Isolated I2C between BMS and main system
  • PLC Communication Board (RAK WisLink LX200V30)

    • High-speed wired communication (twisted pair, coax, power line)
    • Useful when wireless is not viable

Mechanical integration was a key constraint:

  • Compatible with 4" tubes (Blue Robotics standard)
  • Stackable architecture
  • Optimized for cylindrical pressure housings
  • Reduced internal wiring complexity

Example applications:

  • Tethered ROV payload controller with onboard processing and Ethernet/PLC link
  • Drop camera system with local recording and battery management
  • Long-duration seabed monitoring node (camera + sensors + low-power management)
  • Pressure housing data logger with remote access over twisted pair
  • Surface-to-subsea communication node using a simplified tether
  • Rapid prototyping platform for embedded subsea systems

Pre-orders are now open for the first production batch (limited quantities):

Feedback is welcome, especially regarding integration constraints or missing features for subsea applications.

Thanks

Benoît
