Embedded Systems Development for Gledhow

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 the Great Southern region of Western Australia to harness the power of embedded systems. Our experienced team has successfully delivered over 150 projects across hardware and software, collaborating with clients from diverse industries. We understand the unique challenges of remote environments and the need for reliable, practical solutions.

Our embedded systems development process starts with thorough discovery and analysis of your needs. We work closely with you to define project requirements, considering factors such as communication interfaces, real-time behaviour, and hardware/firmware co-development. We then move into design, prototyping, and iterative refinement, ensuring your vision is brought to life. Our comprehensive testing and production-readiness processes guarantee a seamless transition from development to deployment.

We have extensive experience in developing custom embedded devices, real-time control systems, sensor platforms, connected embedded products, and low-power instrumentation. Our technical expertise encompasses MCU selection, firmware architecture design, real-time behaviour analysis, and comprehensive communication interface management. We seamlessly integrate hardware and software, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

Whether your project involves deployment in remote areas or harsh environments, our team can provide Australia-wide support. We prioritize clear communication and collaborative working practices to ensure a seamless and successful experience throughout the entire process.

Let us join forces to harness the transformative potential of embedded systems for your business in the Great Southern region. Contact COLETEK today and let's discuss how we can empower you to achieve your technological goals.
