I will design a simple electronic system for you, or repair a simple electronic device you already own.

-------------------------------------
Outcomes:
-------------------------------------

For locals who want designs, I will provide the digital design documents in both PDF and Altium format. As well as building the physical circuits, I can order the PCBs upon request and assemble them as well. You must pay any production and part fees in this case, as that isn't provided in the service. This is strictly designing and programming the systems for you.

For locals who want repairs, I will absorb all base material costs, like solder, flux, and up to five small parts like LEDs, diodes, resistors, and small ceramic capacitors. More intensive repairs will necessitate that you pay for parts, as parts can become very expensive.

Examples of Projects
-------------------------------------

Solder Reflow Oven Controller
Automatic Garden Watering System
MIDI-Controlled Devices
Ex) Convert a Rock Band drum kit to MIDI

If it's on instructables under the Arduino section especially, I can make it, but I always make my own unique designs and solutions.

Disclaimer
-------------------------------------

I will never charge for the service itself, only required parts for assembly or repairs. In the case that your service you intend to exchange is very worthwhile, I would be willing to absorb part costs up to $50.00. This would be discussed when you offer your trade, and I'm willing to trade additional extras in your service for part costs. Due to the nature of even small scale production costs, I cannot cover those charges for you. Expect that a PCB manufacturing run will cost you approximately $100.00, or up to $250.00 for a larger or more complicated board requiring additional layers. Most boards will be made using SMD components, unless you request otherwise. Board sizes will vary depending on your project. I currently have access to multiple 3D Printers, and have lots of AutoCAD and SolidWorks experience in designing enclosures for your circuits. That is not offered directly in this service, however I am open to discussion on adding it to the service upon request.

Electronics designs requiring lots of programming are not offered here, due to the time involvement. I can design and build both pure analog systems and Arduino or PIC based microcontroller powered systems for you. I'm not familiar with ARM, Xilinx, Lattice, or most other processors at this time, but I technically can design a development board for you if you intend to program one yourself.

-------------------------------------
Estimated Time Investment
-------------------------------------

Many of these projects will take up to 30 hours of work to fully design, so expect to wait at least two weeks for designs.

Repairs typically range from 3-8 hours, and will be completed within a week of drop off.
