Current Projects
Cytech Technology
- Continued design and development of Comfigurator, a PC based Windows C# application for configuring and programming home and commercial automation equipment.
- Design and development of Linux/Python application for monitoring commercial security/automation equipment. Designed to run on low power devices (Rpi), PCs or servers, the Python Flask based application provides a bridge between on-site security equipment and cloud-based servers. The application uses socket communications to monitor and control on-site security equipment. Status data is automatically pushed to cloud-based servers and made available through a REST API.
- Design and development of Win/Python Hotel room monitoring application. This Python Flask based application monitors security and environmental monitoring equipment in hotels to check for room occupancy, fire alarms, etc. The application incorporates multiple of user access levels which allows the system to be interrogated/modified by hotel management on or off site.
- Design and development of Win/C# application for monitoring commercial security/automation equipment. Designed to run on Windows 10/11 desktop PCs, the application provides a bridge between on-site security equipment and cloud-based servers. The application uses socket communications to monitor and control on-site security equipment. Status data is automatically pushed to cloud-based servers and made available through a REST API.
OX-AN Gas Detection
Continued design and development of PIC based embedded C gas detection systems.
OX-AN systems provide continuous monitoring and alarm functionality for a wide range of industrial, commercial and residential applications.
Robot Automation
Design and development of a Python / OpenCV low-cost vision system for robotic applications.
Development of Python based post processors for RoboDK applications.
Ruby May
Design and development of Linux/Python application for the control and monitoring of new portable commercial pollution removal equipment.
This is a Python Flask application with menu driven operation through a local HDMI output. The application features a REST API to allow remote access from centralised monitoring stations, as well as a range of sensor inputs and user input features.
The software runs on a Rpi4.
Zebsys Gas Detection
In house design and development of Arm Cortex based embedded C gas detection system. Running Azure RTOS on a combination of dual and single core MCUs, the system provides alarm predictions using Neural Network based analytics.
PC based Linux/Python configuration/programming software for gas detection systems.
