The best way to implement BACnet on your small platform
One important trend in the building systems market has been the growing emphasis on integrated systems. Another trend is the variety and modest cost of platforms such as Atmel ATmega, ARM Cortex-M, and Linux-based systems.
More and more companies are developing their own small BACnet devices, and it is not a trivial task to do this correctly. That's why we have developed uBACstac - BACnet Protocol stack for small devices. With uBACstac you can build simple BACnet-enabled devices such as meters, humidifiers, thermostats, and other application-specific controllers. Learn More
