Hire the Best Microcontroller Programmers

🏆 Top Rated Product Developer ( I've developed my own products || I'm now helping others on the Upwork platform ) 🏠 I have a Small Home Laboratory to develop/debug prototype boards for your product 💭 I'm a native English speaker My name is Stephen, and I have 25+ years in product development, including 13 years at Microchip in roles like Test Engineer, Design Engineer, Silicon Validation, and Applications Engineer. My clients communicate directly with me - I don't use any AI chatbots as intermediaries. I specialize in developing products from concept to working systems. I can handle both hardware and software or work flexibly on specific areas like architecture and hardware design. I’ve developed two successful products: (1) KEYKatcher hardware keylogger – A device plugged into a PS/2 keyboard port to record and play keystrokes. It was popular among parents for monitoring children's computer use, with tens of thousands sold. Sales declined as PS/2 ports became obsolete (2) TightWatt pool timer – An intelligent controller for swimming pool motors, featuring a year-round algorithm. It was awarded a patent and gained national distribution. Through all the product development, I’ve created a system for planning and designing working products. This system reduces costs ( by reducing mistakes ). I frequently make product improvements in 1️⃣ Lowering energy usage: important in battery-powered products 2️⃣ Increasing performance: increasing sample rates or changing communications protocols 3️⃣ Lowering product cost: making full use of the microcontroller peripherals to reduce external components I have completed more than 70 projects on Upwork but to check my capabilities or skills, you can check out the following projects: ➡️ Hardware Prototype Design for Plant Monitor Product using ESP-32 ➡️ Microchip ATtiny202 Code Development ➡️ Energy Storage Monitoring System ➡️ BM83 Bluetooth Application Schematic ➡️ Embedded System with PIC Microcontroller & Accelerometer ➡️ PCB Power Usage Optimization ➡️ TI MSP430 Development Additional Skills: ➕ Leading-edge technologies such as USB/USB-C, Lithium Battery Charging, LED and Color Mixing, I2S Digital Audio, and Analog Measurements ➕ Common Communication Busses: USB, RS-232, RS-485, CAN, I2C, SPI, Infrared ( with carrier ) As mentioned above, I have a small home laboratory where I have all the tools I need to develop/debug prototype boards for your product. This includes: ⚙️ Multiple programmers for Microchip, Atmel, and TI parts ⚙️ Logic analyzers to quickly find issues with communication busses such as I2C, SPI, UART, I2S, …. ⚙️ A “power profiler” with picoAmp range ( yes, picoAmp, a trillionth of an Ampere ) for power optimization of low-power products ⚙️ A reflow oven for assembling prototype PCBs ⚙️ Inspection equipment for verifying PCB assembly ⚙️ A fellow Upwork contractor is available to do the physical assembly work. She works at a much lower rate than me and has the patience to hand-populate / hand-solder prototype boards Some electronic inventory is on hand. I may have all the components in-house to complete your project Feel free to contact me through UpWork. Best Regards, Stephen
