Hardware
Module Ecosystem
These are the modules in the works today—we're adding more over time. Each badge shows how far along it is. Availability comes once testing and documentation are finished.

Rooster
PlannedTurn signal and wiper controller built around a modern stalk switch. Lane-change blink, rain-sensing wipers, strobes, and programmable wiper speeds.
- Modern turn signal stalk with lane-change blink
- Rain sensor integration for automatic wipers
- Programmable wiper speed and behaviour
- Strobe and auxiliary signal functions
- Replaces factory wiper and signal wiring logic
Trailer Controller
PlannedTrailer brake and charge controller. Monitors and controls current and voltage on the trailer circuit.
- Trailer charge current and voltage monitoring
- Programmable current and voltage limits
- Brake and charge circuit control
- Fault detection and protection
Connectivity
Plug in what you need
Build the platform you need, one module at a time. Standard RJ-45 and M12 patch cables connect modules in the cab and on exterior runs, without custom harness work for every add-on. Start with ORCA Master, expand when you are ready, and manage the system from your phone or interior display. Power over Ethernet simplifies wiring for sensors and new modules.
Standalone
Modules do not require ORCA Master. If you only need one, or a few, for a specific upgrade, each runs on its own without building out the full platform.
Capabilities
Built to expand. Ready to run.
Modular by design
Start with one module. Add more when you need them. No rip-and-replace upgrades.
Built with headroom
Modules include extra I/O and capability you can use now or turn on later. More features without swapping hardware.
Stock-friendly
Uses factory wiring and sensors where it can. Upgrade capability without rebuilding the harness.
Built in-house
Engineered, assembled, and supported by the team that runs it on their own trucks.
Easier install
Standard patch cables between modules. No custom harnesses, no complex wiring to figure out.
Proven before release
Demo-fleet testing and field miles before a module ships. Hardware has to earn its place.
Pipeline
What we're working on
Active programmes and what we're planning to build next—where each module stands today, without fixed release dates.

Modern, Classic & E-Series
Our own project trucks. Each one tests a different install approach—Modern, Classic, or E-Series—on Norwegian roads and in Norwegian weather.
ModernOBS Ford F-SeriesFord F-250 · Modern
We're building this one out with a modern dash, gauges, and the full OBS Link stack—our test bed for the tech-heavy route.
ClassicOBS Ford F-SeriesFord F-250 · Classic
Kept close to stock on purpose. We run our hardware here with the factory dash and OEM parts so it still looks like a classic truck inside and out.
E-SeriesFord E-SeriesFord E-350 · E-Series
Most OBS parts are designed around pickup cabs. The E-350 is where we develop hardware for the Econoline platform.
