Embedded - Firmware • Windows • Software

Firmware & software, built with precision.

We specialize in microcontroller firmware, embedded systems, and Windows applications that power products, test rigs, and internal tools. The focus is on general purpose microcontroller firmware, not robotics or motion control stacks.

Typical lead time: 2-6 weeks. Small runs, prototypes, and internal tooling.

Recent builds and concepts

A rotating showcase of firmware projects, embedded systems, and Windows software. Many client projects are under NDA. These are representative examples of the type of work done.

Vehicle Electronics
Universal single cylinder engine display module.

Engine speedometer and service display

Firmware and logic for a universal single cylinder wasted spark engine display, originally built for Predator style 212cc engines on minibikes and go karts. Shows MPH, RPM, oil change reminder, valve lash check reminder, fuel estimate, mileage, and more, with support for a companion app.

Smart Device
Low power controller with user friendly interface.

Room and device controller firmware

Low power firmware for a small room controller dial. Handles scenes, brightness, and basic device control with reliable wireless behavior and predictable sleep and wake timing.

Windows Software
Desktop control panel for hardware devices.

Device control and debug app

A Windows application for configuring devices, logging telemetry, and flashing firmware with straightforward, repeatable workflows.

Production
Test jig firmware and PC side tools.

Production test rig

Microcontroller firmware and a Windows user interface to validate boards, log results, and generate traceable reports on the production line.

Experimental
ChatGPT helper connected to a TI-83 Plus.

ChatGPT integrated TI-83 Plus

Custom software that connects a TI-83 Plus calculator through a embedded microcontroller bridge so it can send questions and receive answers from ChatGPT style services. Focused on making the interaction feel natural on very limited hardware.

Retro and Fun
Firmware for a custom handheld project.

Retro handheld firmware

Bare metal firmware for a small handheld, input handling, menu system, and a simple content pipeline, plus PC side tools to pack and manage assets.

From idea to reliable firmware

A simple, clear process that keeps you in the loop from first sketch to delivered binaries and installers.

01

Discover

Define goals, hardware constraints, timelines, and budget. Quick sketches and parts and microcontroller research follow.

02

Design

Firmware architecture, communication protocols, and any Windows tooling are planned and reviewed with you.

03

Prototype

Board bring up, firmware loops, and tooling are iterated quickly until behavior is solid and predictable.

04

Build and handoff

Production ready firmware, installers, basic documentation, and source are delivered so your team can own it long term.

Why SHAIA

Firmware first thinking that connects microcontrollers, electronics, and Windows tools so your hardware behaves, debugs, and ships smoothly.

Deep firmware focus

From small 8 bit and 32 bit microcontrollers to larger embedded boards, the focus is on boot behavior, power use, error handling, and the details that make hardware feel finished.

Windows tooling included

Need a control panel, logger, or updater? Native Windows software can be built that talks to your hardware and makes it easier to work with.

Transparent and predictable

Clear milestones, fixed fee options where possible, and open communication. Progress shows up in regular builds, not only in a final delivery.
