About Air Supply BBS
From the Dial-Up Era to Embedded Systems

Welcome to Air Supply BBS. We are more than just a provider of engineering hardware and software; we are the continuation of a decades-long legacy of technology sharing and community building.

Our Origins: Terminal Memories of the 1990s

Long before broadband internet and smartphones, during the 1990s, Air Supply BBS was born in Chung-Li, Taiwan, operating as a dial-up Bulletin Board System accessed via telephone lines and modems.

As a crucial routing node for international FidoNet and Taiwan's 90Net—and pioneering an early gateway to the academic internet email system—Air Supply BBS spent its nights filled with the sound of modem handshakes. It was a digital gathering place where engineers, students, and tech enthusiasts exchanged knowledge across geographic boundaries.

That original SysOp spirit—a passion for technology, a dedication to sharing, and a relentless pursuit of excellence—remains the core driving force behind everything we do today.

Redefined for Today: Bits • Boards • Software

While technology has evolved and text-only terminal screens have become history, the engineering world's need for reliable hardware and precise code has never changed. Therefore, we have redefined the traditional BBS acronym to represent the three pillars of modern hardware engineering: Bits • Boards • Software.

We are dedicated to providing high-quality development resources for students, makers, and professional engineers:

• Bits: The foundation of digital logic. We offer a comprehensive selection of electronic components, sensor modules, cables, and basic parts to meet your needs from breadboard prototyping to final system integration.
• Boards: The physical carriers of computational power. We specialize in microcontrollers (such as PSoC and TI Tiva C architectures), digital logic lab kits, and advanced development boards.
• Software: The instructions that give hardware its soul. We provide advanced embedded system source code, commercial software licenses, project firmware packages, and debugging tools.

The Air Supply Ecosystem

AirSupplyBBS operates as an e-commerce platform focused on professional tools and kits, but our vision extends further. We have built a three-part ecosystem:
