Technology With A Difference

Enabling tight software and hardware integration



Atmel SAM D10 Xplained Mini

Embedded software can be very simple, such as that used for controlling lighting in homes, and can run on an 8-bit microcontroller with just a few kilobytes of memory, or it can be quite complex such as the software running all of the electronic components of a modern smart car, complete with climate controls, automatic cruising and collision sensing, as well as control navigations. Complex embedded software can also be found in aircraft avionics systems, in very complex fly-by-wire systems used in fighter planes and even in missile guidance systems.

Our 3D printing service is used to fabricate high quality prototypes. Products modelled in 3D CAD can be produced in a variety of materials to replicate the products aesthetics, form and functionality. 3D People's prototyping service helps customers reduce costs, speed up product development time and create valuable presentation tools.

Design Goal

To produce a low maintenance high performance road bike.I currently have a Shimano 105 5800 equipped road bike and do a lot of riding. One issue I am having is the high level of maintenance a derailleur system requires. If this neglected then degradation can occur quickly leading to costly repairs. For example, if you let a chain become worn then it will destroy the cassettes and chainrings leading to poor shifting and skipping under load and in worst case failure. A new chain will skip and the whole drivetrain will need to be replaced. The chain needs to be kept reasonably clean and lubed to slow down wear. Dry chains will corrode easily while the dirt in lubed chains will act like grit or mild sandpaper, neither is good for longevity.
