Aldus Technology
We build the tools that fix the electronics in your car.
Since 2009 we design diagnostic hardware and software for automotive ECU repair and programming, and we put the same experience to work for companies that need reverse engineering, embedded firmware and custom tooling.
What we do
Four things, done properly
Diagnostic tools
Lince: bench and OBD hardware for reading, writing and repairing automotive control units, sold under the Aldus Electronics brand.
Software
Hex 17, a hex editor built for the automotive repair bench, plus the software that drives our hardware.
Consulting & development
Reverse engineering, embedded firmware, custom tooling, and colour formulation software for paint manufacturers.
Open source
Adi2, our GUI toolkit for Ada, published under Apache-2.0 with commercial support available.
