Services
Five things we do, all built around devices that have software inside them. If your need doesn't fit neatly into one, tell us anyway.
Embedded software and firmware
Your hardware needs software that starts reliably, talks to everything around it and can be updated safely in the field.
- Firmware for microcontrollers and processors, bare-metal or RTOS
- Board bring-up: first power-on, clocks, memory, peripherals, bootloader
- Device drivers for sensors, displays, motors and communication interfaces
- Embedded Linux and Yocto builds, VxWorks platforms
- Secure boot and signed firmware updates, including for drones and robots
- Porting existing code to a new processor, or from 32-bit to 64-bit
What you get: source code in your repository, build instructions, a test report and a handover session.
Automation and IoT
Lighting, energy, pumps and machines you can see and control from one screen.
- Lighting automation for offices, campuses and outdoor areas
- Energy monitoring from meters and panels, with alerts and reports
- Machine and utility monitoring over Modbus, RS-485 or wireless
- IoT gateways and cloud dashboards
- Control panels built with our parent company, V P Systems
What you get: a working system on site, a dashboard login, wiring and network documents, and operator training.
Product development for startups
You have an idea and a deadline. We help you get to a product you can show, test and sell.
- Feasibility check and hardware selection
- Proof of concept on development boards
- Prototype with your own board and firmware
- Pilot batch with a test station
- Handover to manufacturing or your own team
What you get: working hardware and software at each stage, and every design file you paid for.
Engineering problem solving
Some problems stop a project for weeks: a board that won't boot, a crash once a day, data that arrives corrupted, a device that drops off the network.
We reproduce the fault, measure it on the bench with oscilloscopes, logic analysers and debuggers, find the root cause and fix it.
What you get: the fix, and a short root-cause report explaining what went wrong and how to stop it happening again.
Test and validation systems
Every unit you ship should be tested the same way, with a record to prove it.
- Automated test stations for production lines and labs
- Instrument control in Python or LabVIEW: power supplies, oscilloscopes, signal generators, logic analysers
- Communication tests over SPI, I2C, UART, CAN and Ethernet
- Pass/fail reports for every unit, saved and traceable
What you get: the test station software, operator instructions and the report format.
