Compact Control Design Ltd offers electronic design, firmware development and software development services. We have many years of experience in this industry which means that we can take even the most basic of ideas and work with you to produce exactly what you want.
If you want a product that can communicate with a computer via USB, Bluetooth, Ethernet etc... No problem, we can develop the device and we can develop the PC software that it communicates with.
If you want a product that uses the internet for communication we can design it for you. Maybe you want a product that logs data to a database and you want to be able to view the data on a web site, we can do that too.
We keep up to date with the latest developments from leading manufacturers such as Texas Instruments, Analog Devices and ST Microelectronics so we can create designs which use the latest, most reliable, most power efficient components. We are very aware that reducing cost is always important and we always create designs that minimize cost without compromising performance or reliability.
We are happy to develop products for businesses large and small and also for private individuals and hobbyists. We can provide a complete service from designing and prototyping the electronics and developing the firmware through to writing the user guides and installation instructions, we can also design the enclosure and artwork for your product. We can even provide low volume assembly of your product.
We are happy to do just a part of your project, for instance one of our customers gets us to design the electronics and create the schematics for each of their new projects, they then design their own PCB using the schematics we designed. One of our customers gets us to help them design their own electronics and then if the board includes a microcontroller we write the firmware!
We can take your old design and redesign parts or all of it to use up to date components, we can work from proper design documents down to sketches on bits of paper, or if you don't have any documentation we can often work from the old product itself to create a new product.
We can take your existing or old design and select alternative components to bring it up to date or reduce its cost. If there are no direct replacement components available then we can modify the design to use components that are available.
A new product for a customer. The board accepts stereo analogue inputs on phono sockets and produces a S/PDIF digital audio output on a BNC socket. The board also has pre-set pots to allow the gain of each channel to be controlled separately. The board also has a 5 volt power output on a USB socket which enables another device to be powered without the need for an additional mains adapter.
A batch of sensor boards and a batch of RF/battery boards that have just been built and tested. The sensor boards connect to a PT100 temperature sensor and a strain gauge based pressure sensor and perform regular measurements. The sensor board connects to the RF board which has a SmartMesh module which transmits the measurement data to a manager module.
We designed these boards and we also developed the PC based software that communicates with the manager module and receives the data from the sensors.
