Hello We are looking for someone who can make a PCB which can do this: We have a numeric keyboard such as this one: [login to view URL] We need to record (store) the data entered including a time and date stamp for each entry or if a specific key is pressed (multiple records or one record for all keys). Most of the time it is a numeric sequence of max. 12 digits. We need to download the data at a later time, preferably by mini USB connection or any other suggestion you might have. All is battery powered and self starting and self-running, never stopping as long as there is power. The application is: We are supplying devices to outdoor adventure entertainment companies, that use this device to have participants enter a given code in a very remote location (desert, forrest, etc.). This is why there is no electricity and in many cases no mobile phone network. The devices will be collected once every week or so. At first there will not be many devices required like a dozen, but there could be more, depends on the demand. Can and would you do this?

Hi. This should be a pretty simple project. The main issue will be low power consumption for long battery life. That's easily solved with careful hardware and firmware design so the device is in a low-power sleep mode most of the time. I suggest using an off-the-shelf controller module at least for the initial version, to reduce development cost. These are compact, under $20 each, and include a USB connector, so all we'd need is to hook up a battery and the keypad, and develop the custom firmware. You might also want something (LED, buzzer) for user feedback when entering codes; also the firmware probably should have an encryption feature to prevent user hacking. My bid is to document the hardware and software design, deliver two functional demo units, and provide well-documented, cleanly-coded and efficient firmware source code. Also PC software for configuring the device and reading out stored data. Thanks for considering my bid.

Hi, I have been involved in microprocessor based product design for a great many years and on the face of it this project is ver straightforward. Regrettably I dont have any Freelancer credentials as yet (but working on it). However I do have wide experience in product design, PCB design and manufacture from previous companies I have owned. Regarding your project, could you clarify a few points:- 1, This seems like a simple data capture device, using a membrane keypad and presumably some display feedback for the user. 2, Is it to be hand held? Robust? Waterproof? (applies to the PCB as well as the final product). 3, Would you want some of these manufactured? Possibly as part of this request? 4, Would using the mini USB socket for data retieval and charging be OK? 5, Did you have a target cost /unit in mind? Happy to answer any questions you might have. Regards (and good luck with your project) James Harrison-Smith INFONICS

I have BS, MS and PhD degrees in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from one of the most reputable universities in Turkey and have 15 years of analog and microcontroller based systems design experience (both hardware and firmware) and 5 years of RF design experience. I am founder and manager of an R&D company focusing on analog and embedded systems design. Please note that: - we will build and test a prototype but the cost of shipping, if necessary, from Turkey to your location is not included in the bid. - end-product plastic/metal casing design/molding cost is not included. However, if you can provide a drawing for the casing, we can design the board accordingly. Alternatively, we can design the casing at extra cost. - FCC/CE certifications are also not included since even only independent laboratory testing costs exceed this bid. However, we design our products with the related EMC&LVD tests in mind so that the prototype will not be far from passing those tests after some modifications. We can, on your request, work on the certification process at an extra cost. -the requested prepayment is only for nulling the immediately taken 10% site commission. We found it necessary because of employers who disappear after awarding the project.

Hello! Please bare with me, I have only just joined freelancer and this is my first attempt at contacting someone. I came across your task and if I read it correctly you want some elecronics designed to record a key sequence and date/time stamp it. To store this data entry and then at a later date (once connected to a PC via USB) download the data to a PC so you have a list of data entry from a particular device ID and each data entry has a time and date. I am not sure what the bid is for? Is it for a design? Working and delivered prototype? Feel free to find me on FB russellgrahamengineering I do have a website but it's being revamped so FB is more current. I am assuming you will require the following: a full system spec Firmware Circuit design Pcb layout Software design (perhaps out putting in csv format so it can be read in Ms excel? Firmware debug Prototype build Commission Deliver And then suggested improvements for design for manufacture to achieve the lowest unit cost. Look forward to hearing from you - even if you don't choose to go with me. Best regards Russell Russellgrahamengineering Good luck.

Hi, My Background: Manager, Desings. System level expert. I've made many customized hand-held equipment (like RF power meter, high speed 8 channel data logger, RF spectrum analyzer). Most of them were used to log the data. They were USB / Battery powered. Once recorded, you can plug them up to a computer and extract the data and our customized GUI would display the data. I believe i have the right expertise to help you with your project. I still need some details though. Some of them are 1. How long should the battery last. 2. On what basis do i log the time stamp, should i have an RTC that is initially synchronized with a computer ? 3. Do you need any display to show the batter level? I have a few more questions to ask, but these are the major ones. Feel free to ask me any question you have. Thanks for your time and consideration. Best Regards, Venkat
