Over the past few weeks, SigCore UC has started to appear in a few different corners of the internet, ranging from long form articles to video and podcast mentions. None of this was driven by a formal launch push, which makes the coverage especially encouraging.

LinuxGizmos recently published an overview of SigCore UC in the context of its upcoming Crowd Supply launch, focusing on the system’s ability to bridge industrial I/O, open source firmware, and a software driven control model. Hackster also highlighted the project’s open approach to industrial PID control and modular I/O design.

In parallel, the project has been discussed on Coder Radio, and short capability overview videos are now live, showing the system running as a complete control and data acquisition platform rather than a collection of individual features.

At this stage, the hardware, firmware, and Control Panel software are all operating in near release form. The system has been running continuously in real environments for extended periods, and the core functionality is stable. No additional development is required to put a unit into service. Configuration, monitoring, PID tuning, and data logging are handled entirely in firmware on the device, with the remote Control Panel serving solely as the user interface.

Evaluation units are now available and beginning to move out. The current focus is on getting hardware into the hands of people who will actually use it, stress it, and apply it to real problems, not just look at spec sheets.

As coverage continues to accumulate, this log will remain focused on the technical side of the project, design decisions, real world behavior, and lessons learned along the way.

More soon, with data rather than adjectives.
