Versatronics Products and Projects
Below are some of the custom electonic products, projects and solutions that we have produced for our clients.
Many of them involve working with the client, understanding the requirements, giving feedback and recommendations, the design process from concept to circuit design, to finished prototype, with installation and testing.
IoT (Internet of Things) Projects
We have Atmega based carrier boards that accept WiFi modules or GSM
(SMS) modules (see below). This enables a simple monitoring solution for your system requirement or web based system.
The module to the left is an Arduino Atmega328 with a built in plug-in ESP8266 module.
The Arduino board has an additional 5 analogue and 3 digital I/O for connections to sensors. It only requires an external 12V PSU.
This module can upload data to a remote web server, or to another similar module, or even act as a web server itself. The possibilities for monitoring and uploading data are endless. See the flow meter below for an application. We also have a similar module that uses a plug-in Sim800 GSM module, so it can also send and receive SMS's.
LED Lighting Controllers
These are Arduino based controllers to drive FastSPI LED strips, where each LED in the strip is uniquely addressable in terms of it's brightness and RGB levels.
Click on the picture for a YouTube demo. The possibilities are as limited as your imagination. As each 'pixel' is individually addressable, any kind of motion and direction can be achieved.
We design the hardware to specification as well as all custom software to achieve the effect you desire.

LED Flasher for Till Points for Shoprite Checkers
Developed for Shoprite Checkers, it is a gated flasher for supermarket till display units.
The requirement was to light the LEDs above the assistant and then flash and beep for a supervisor's attention when a button is pressed. It can be gated with a switch or 5V logic signal. The speed is adjustable and there is a driver for a 100dB beeper. The input is 12V and the LED load can be up to 15W.
Radio / Remote Controlled Switch
The Radio controlled switch is a unit that can be connected to a standard model aerolane radio control remote receiver servo output.
Programmable Bubble System
We used an Arduino to provide 12 different bubble pattern programs and lighting programs for this wall mounted or room divider bubble curtain. The video clip only shows a small fraction of the variety of programs. The curtain is installed in the Visions Gallery in Hout Bay and the idea was conceived by Jacques Meyer (www.visionsgallery.co.za)
