Problem: A manufacturer of industrial electronic equipment, needed to develop and market a low-cost, high-volume, stepper motor control product. We agreed on a number of design requirements. The product had to be extremely reliable; offer the smallest footprint possible; possess flexible I/O; offer an easy-to-use command set; and be compatible with industrial controllers. There were also additional design goals: precision positioning with optical feedback and a graphical or higher-level language for motion control. Custom dual-embedded processor stepper motor indexer and power drivers. |

Solution: Bytes By Design worked closely with their marketing department to analyze product requirements and properly position the product. Our solution not only fulfilled all the requirements, but also offered better performance and versatility than competing products within cost constraints. The design featured a dual-processor 80C52 architecture, a powerful, yet easy-to-use command set, user-programmable I/O, as well as Windows-based development tools offering an interactive command window and both graphical and BASIC language motion control. We developed a product that is small, yet robust and virtually indestructible. |

Results: With our in-depth knowledge of both software and hardware development we were able to successfully take this multi-requirement stepper motor control product from the drawing board to the marketplace. |
