Embedded Systems Development for Heathmere

Do you need help with an embedded system? Our team has been working with Embedded Systems since the early 1990s. During this time we have worked with microcontroller (MCU) and Micro-Processor Unit (MPU) and Digital Signal Processing (DSP), such as STM32F4, MSP430, Atmel, PIC, LPC and ARM. We are use to working with COTS devices such as OMAP, BeagleBone Black, Raspberry Pi and Arduino or in-house custom embedded systems. We have also had experience rolling our own real-time operating systems, however still prefer to use COTS such as RTLinux, VxWorks, RTOS and GreenHill. We also consider ourselves Linux experts due to our experience with the Linux kernel, filesystem and extensive knowledge and experience of Linux command line tools and packages. Using the embedded system to read sensors and/or control motors in real-time via various signal processing methods is a very common task for us.

So if you need a custom embedded system built from scatch, or just need further work on an existing embedded system, feel free to contact us. We have much experience designing circuits with MCU's, MPU's or DSP alone using ti.com Design Tools for buck-boost converters, lowpass/highpass filters, and power management IC (PMIC). And when it comes to loading the operating system (possible real-time based) and writting the firware/software, we have that all covered too - programming is also one of our strengths.

Electronics is an art our team has been working with since childhood (from building kits from Dicksmith, Tandy, and Jaycar to designing digital electronic keypads). Since then, we have maintained a constant update of knowledge and experience on the topic, since most of our projects involve either building a circuit from scatch, reviewing circuit designs, programming for target microcontrollers, and/or reworking pre-built PCB's for various needs such as bypassing/hacking solutions, or replacing broken components.

Our primary developer Luke Cole has a history as the "go to man" for many colleagues, and is well known to have "a knack for making things work". To learn more about Luke see his LinkedIn page or personal home page.

The CTO of COLETEK (Luke Cole) originally worked for Hemisphere GPS as a "Robotics Engineer" implementing auto-guidance solutions for agriculture tractors and quadbikes.

Luke Cole also worked at Location Aware Technologies (433) developing indoor tracking devices. And also worked for leading research institutes such as NICTA, CSIRO and ANU Robotics System Lab (lead by Alex Zelinsky).

Lance Cole has also worked at NICTA and has a background of various hardware development, such as working for a contract company to the US millary (EOS), building the Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS).

At COLETEK, we empower businesses in Heathmere and across the Great Ocean Road region with innovative and reliable embedded systems development. Our team of experienced engineers has successfully delivered over 150 projects, encompassing custom embedded devices, real-time control systems, sensor platforms, and connected embedded products.

We understand the unique challenges faced by businesses in this region, where projects often involve remote or harsh environments. Our expertise in MCU selection, firmware architecture, real-time behaviour, and communications interfaces ensures reliable and efficient embedded systems tailored to your specific needs.

From initial discovery and design decisions through prototyping, iteration, integration, testing, and production-readiness, we guide you through every step of the process. Our comprehensive support extends beyond just hardware and firmware development. We can also assist with field testing, ensuring your embedded systems perform seamlessly in your deployment environment.

Whether you require low-power instrumentation or complex embedded systems for industry-specific applications, our team can collaborate seamlessly with you, leveraging our Australia-wide support network. We are committed to delivering exceptional results that meet your business objectives and empower you to achieve greater efficiency and innovation.

Let us join forces and harness the power of embedded systems to transform your business operations in Heathmere and beyond. Contact COLETEK today to discuss your project and explore how our expertise can complement your journey towards success.
