	This is a sport submarine auto-depth display, controller, and motor driver board set. We did hardware design, firmware design and coding, PCB layout, and system integration and testing. This included analog sections, microcontroller, display, and mechanical layout for the Microchip PIC based controller board. The motor driver board generates high power (2kW) outpus for thrust motors in response to control signals from the main board. The control firmware performs multiple real-time functions, including a depth target/hold PID control loop with rate limits.
	This is a high quality flash memory based multi channel audio record and playback unit. We did hardware design, firmware design and coding, and system integration and test. There is a substantial analog and filtering component to the design, along with mixed signal and digital functions. The microcontroller is an 8 bit Microchip PIC device, and this design pushes the part to its limits.
:	This is an evaluation board for an autoranging 4 1/2 digit multimeter chip set. We did hardware design, firmware design and coding, mechanical design, PCB layout, and system integration and test. There is substantial analog and mixed signal portions to this design, tight mechanical and cost constraints, as well as complex real-time firmware requirements. This design was implemented with a Microchip PIC device.
	This is a Golf Handicap Calculator, which we designed from the ground up on the basis of a very general specification and an artist's sketch. We were responsible for the design and implementation of the plastics, custom keypad, custom LCD, electronic hardware, PCB, firmware, and mechanicals. This was a fully turn-key design process, challenging due to the low development and production cost requirements. The design is centered around a Microchip PIC microcontroller and some discrete logic elements. All firmware was written in assembly, and used every byte (!) of program memory and RAM!
	This is a fail safe bypass unit for a T1/E1 voice telephony product. We did the hardware, firmware, PCB, mechanical and housing design. This design was made challenging by small size requirements, telco and EMI requirements, low cost and low power.
	These are printed circuit boards we have prepared for evaluation of a specific series of integrated circuits. They are representative of a large number of similar designs we have done for evaluation boards that have involved hardware design, PCB layout, and often associated Windows software. We also create extensive application note information to accompany the boards.
