Modular ecosystem
Marmota core is the heart of Input Labs' modular ecosystem, a common core for many devices: Alpakka (v1), Kapybara, wireless dongle, future reference designs, and community designs.
It abstracts away some of the shared functionality such as the USB connection, battery charging, and wireless connectivity.
This way development of the devices becomes simpler both for Input Labs reference designs and for the modding community.
Low latency wireless
Engineered so the wireless connection controller-to-dongle (Marmota-to-Marmota) is up to the same performance you would expect in a gaming mouse, so the gyro controls are not compromised.
The Marmota reference design uses a carefully selected wireless module, with a 2.4 GHz antenna, and low-latency protocol.
Specs for latency, jitter, and range will be published later when the reference design is final.
No soldering required
Thanks to the included connectors, the Marmota module can be plugged in and out easily from a carrier board.
With this approach replacing or upgrading the Marmota module is trivial, and there is no soldering required anymore.
