Services

STM32 firmware development

HAL, motor control, PID, sensor fusion (IMU, IR, LiDAR over UART/I2C), DMA, event-driven control loops. From hobbyist projects to competition-grade systems.

Starting at $50/hr

Altium PCB design

2-layer to 4-layer custom boards. Motor driver integration, sensor breakouts, full robot main boards including PCB-as-structure designs.

From $300 per simple 2-layer board

Commissioned builds

End-to-end small robot or embedded device design and build. Mechanical CAD, custom electronics, firmware, fabrication, integration.

Quote only, projects from $1500

Mechanical CAD for fabrication

Inventor parts and assemblies designed for FDM 3D printing, resin printing, and steel CNC machining. Includes export-ready files (STL, STEP) and fabrication-aware design choices: warping, tolerances, ribs, fastener fits.

From $50/hr
