NOA CORE100 is a high-power wireless charging dev kit designed to help you build and experiment without having to start from scratch. Whether you’re an engineer, system integrator, or a maker working on your own project, CORE100 lets you add reliable, contactless power to your designs, no fragile connectors, pogo pins, or custom charging systems required. It delivers up to 100 W across an air gap or offset, making it ideal for robotics, drones, battery-powered devices, and more.

CORE100 is built to be flexible and practical. It includes configurable transmitter and receiver boards, multiple coil sizes, and simple USB Type-C/UART connectivity, along with a browser-based tool for setup and tuning. You can power devices directly or charge batteries, while adjusting the system to suit your design, power needs, and environment. Whether you’re prototyping or ready for final integration, CORE100 gives you a faster, cleaner way to integrate wireless power.

Charge Up and Go

If you’ve ever built an autonomous system, whether it’s a warehouse robot or something on your workbench, you’ve likely run into the same problem: charging is harder than it should be. A robot returns to dock, but now everything depends on precise alignment, exposed contacts, or fragile connectors that wear out over time. CORE100 removes that friction by enabling devices to simply dock and charge, no cables or pins required. It works reliably in real-world conditions while staying simple enough for prototyping, personal builds, or full system integration.

This becomes even more valuable as systems scale, like with drone fleets, where charging quickly turns into a bottleneck. CORE100 integrates into landing pads for automatic recharging, reducing maintenance and simplifying deployment. At the same time, it’s just as useful for smaller projects, cleaner enclosures, cable-free designs, or anywhere connectors become a limitation. Whether you’re a hobbyist experimenting or a team building for production, CORE100 gives you a more flexible and robust way to deliver power.

Open Source

CORE100 is designed to be easy to experiment with, integrate, and automate. At launch, we plan to release an open-source Python library (MIT License) for USB and UART communication - enabling system configuration, diagnostics, test automation, and workflow integration.

We’ll also provide open-source coil design resources (CC BY 4.0), allowing users to understand and adapt the wireless power setup for their own designs.

The transmitter and receiver come as fully assembled modules with pre-installed firmware. The board schematics, PCB layouts, embedded firmware source code, or a board-level bill of materials will not be published as part of this release.

Planned resources at launch include:

• Coil design files
• Python communication library
• Documentation and integration guides
• Example scripts

Resources will be published through the NOA GitHub organization:

Additional project and configuration resources will be available at:

NOA configurator and developer tools
