# Perfect the nodes. Build everything else from them.

Company | Dallas, Texas

Checkmate Dynamics designs complete motion, sensing and sync nodes, sells them to people building robots, and builds its own station products from the very same units.

**01** Principles

## How we build.

01

### One family

Same cable, connector, bus, clock, app and look across every product. Own one node and you know the next.

02

### Plug in, then work

Plug it in and it’s found, named and ready. Settings exist; nobody needs them to start.

03

### Measured, not promised

We publish measurements. Anything not yet measured is marked as a target, and every unit ships with its own test card.

04

### Value first

We aim for the best part in its class, judged by the work it saves you.

05

### Built from the same nodes

Our larger products are assemblies of the retail nodes, hub and cable. Improve one node and everything improves.

06

### Continuity

Identity, calibration and history travel with a node from a maker’s bench to a data floor.

07

### Your data is yours

Everything works on-prem; the cloud is optional. Station devices have no radio, any node radio is off until you turn it on in the app, and we never receive your recordings.

08

### Finished

Closed housings, labeled ports, and one look from the product to the box to this page.

**02** Record

## From one stepper board to a platform.

It started with SmartStepper, a closed-loop NEMA 17 that runs on a USB-C charger. Then SmartServo G for brushless gimbal motors, Contour for depth, cycloidal reducers for both node families, the Sync Beacon for station timing, and Hub 8 Pro to power and connect it all.
