What is Axiometa?
Dev Boards | Modules | AI - SDK
Boards. Modules. AI software.
Genesis boards run your project. AX22 modules add sensors, displays and controls. Axiometa Studio is the software, with optional AI to help write and change the firmware.
Plug in the parts, upload your code and test your project.

Genesis development boards
Genesis Mini, shown here, is powered by an ESP32-S3. Its four labelled AX22 ports connect modules directly, while USB-C handles power and programming. Once the firmware is uploaded, the board runs it whenever it is powered; a dashboard or browser game also needs its connected computer.
The Genesis Mini Starter Kit pairs this board with eight modules. It is one way to start building with Axiometa.

AX22 plug-in modules
AX22 gives different hardware modules a shared connector and pin layout. Genesis supplies power and connects the module’s signals to its microcontroller, reducing the wiring needed to assemble a circuit. Firmware reads sensors and controls outputs through standard interfaces such as I²C, SPI and GPIO.
Combine a sensor, a display and a control. Change one part or its code, and the same board can take on a different job.

Axiometa Studio
In Axiometa Studio, choose your board, place its modules in the hardware layout and work on the firmware alongside them. Write code yourself, or use optional AI assistance with the board and module definitions as context. Compile, upload over USB and test the result on the hardware.
A project can also have a browser dashboard to plot readings or provide controls. With suitable Wi-Fi firmware, the Mini can serve a project interface to a phone.

Type a prompt. Show the result.
Record the current Studio: enter a prompt, inspect the code, upload, then show the sensor and dashboard responding together. Use the real sequence, edited for clarity.

Start with something you want to make.
Your first ESP32 project can be something you want to use. Start with an idea, get it working, then explore the code and circuits as you learn.

Breadboards and your own code
Use Genesis Mini like a conventional development board: connect a breadboard, add jumper wires and try compatible components. AX22 modules can also be wired to other boards, following their voltage, pinout and interface requirements.
Program in Arduino IDE, or use Studio Headless with coding agents in tools such as VS Code. You can inspect and change the firmware as you learn more about the circuit.

See how the hardware works
Follow a connection from its printed label into the schematic. PCB views, component information and 3D files help you understand the circuit and build around it. The Mini schematic and individual module files, such as the light-sensor schematic, are available to inspect.
For students, these files connect electronics lessons to a real circuit. Makers and engineers can evaluate a sensor or IC, or develop an early product prototype before designing a custom board.

From a board to its schematic
Pair the real light-sensor PCB view with its matching schematic. Trace one connection so the relationship is obvious; use actual engineering files.

Connect a display
Show readings and menus on a small IPS screen, or use a larger LED panel for scrolling text, pixel art and animations.
The IPS module plugs directly into AX22. Larger LED displays connect through an AX22 LED adapter and a 3-pin cable, so you can position the panel away from the board.

Two views: an IPS module plugged into Mini, then Mini connected to a 54 × 8 LED panel through the adapter and cable. Keep each connection visible; show real readings or scrolling text.

Give the hardware a home
A working circuit can become something you can hold, mount or leave on a desk. Build an enclosure around Genesis and its modules, then change the case, controls and firmware to give the hardware a different job.
Axiometa’s 3D World collects printable parts and project bodies, including a snap-on AX22 module enclosure. Print the parts, or use the available CAD files as a starting point for your own design.

From circuit to something you can hold
Show the same Mini and modules beside two project-specific printed cases, then fitted into one. Use real fitted designs; an exploded view should make the board, modules and enclosure easy to recognise.

Add AX22 to your own PCB
AX22 can be part of a PCB designed for your own project. Add the port and connect it to your board’s power and signal lines to use compatible AX22 modules.
Axiometa offers design guidance and help integrating AX22 into custom PCBs. Talk to us about your design.
