Services

Developing new high-tech products requires software/Firmware that instructs devices how to function. Software engineering is an integral part of the complete service ARMDuinos.com provides services for developing new products.

From complete software packages with easy-to-use graphical user interfaces to programming the functions of microcontrollers and microprocessors, the software and firmware engineers at ARMDuinos.com can provide solutions for your needs. We specialize in ARM microcontrollers and/or any other microcontroller families.

ARMDuinos.com provides Schematic Capture and Layout services, if there is a need for electrical design and layout design then we can do that for our clients. We use different software packages such as, Altium, ORCAD, Allegro, PADS PCB and EagleCAD.

The schematic is the basis of your design. You must have this initial outline of the circuit paths and descriptions of key components before you can do anything else. The schematic can be considered the high-level blueprint for the PCB.

PCB editing software can import this schematic unless you import it or replicate it inside of an electronic design automation or EDA application. In some EDA software applications, you’d start the conversion process by selecting the option “convert to PCB.” However, it is your responsibility to make sure that there are no errors in the component footprints, overlaying items, or overcrowding them based on design rules.

The resulting diagram is then used as the basis for the PCB design detailing how thick the PCB layers will be and how the SMT components connect with each. The final design in the PCB editing software becomes the PCB file.

The PCB file is a data file containing the printed circuit board design. The PCB manufacturer doesn’t need the program used to create the file or the original schematic. They need the PCB fabrication data typically contained in the Gerber files. The PCB design tools may create a Gerber file for each layer of the PCB or a single file for the entire PCB to be manufactured. We can also create a design from concepts provided by the customer.

Custom Embedded Design is by nature a collaborative team process requiring engineering and technical skills including system design, mechanical and thermal design, electrical design, software development, cable design and build, testing, and quality control. Our engineering team excels at partnering with our customers to understand their needs and to provide top-notch engineering support, whether it’s just providing CAD models, or providing full-turnkey system design services.

Working from customer requirements and concepts, ARMDuinos.com Custom can help refine customer concepts to develop agreed upon critical design requirements. From these requirements, ARMDuinos.com can develop implementation strategies, while our Sales Engineers generate options quotes to help guide the NRE process. This collaborative process is the key to developing workable solutions that meet both cost and technical constraints
