Custom Electronics Design
I build custom electronics to order — a solution fully tailored to your needs, taken from the first idea to the finished board. Designs can meet the standard your application requires: automotive with all the necessary protections, consumer, industrial and more.
From idea to finished board
- Get in touch. Tell me what you need and what the board should do.
- Concept & parts. I choose the best approach and the right components for your project.
- Schematic. I design the circuit.
- Schematic review. We go through the schematic together and make sure the concept is right.
- PCB layout. Once you approve the schematic, I design the board layout.
- Final price. After you approve the layout, you get the final price. Payment is due before ordering.
- Manufacturing & assembly. I order the boards assembled from a PCB manufacturer. Any remaining components and parts are then added by hand.
- Testing. Every board is tested for all agreed functions.
- Enclosure (optional). 3D-printed or CNC-machined aluminium, anodized.
- Shipping. Your boards are packed and shipped to you.
Motorcycle Dash Controller
A real example of a custom board built through this process — timeline and cost included.
This board reads analog inputs and two CAN bus channels, built around an STM32F446 microcontroller with USB communication and TE Superseal 1.0 automotive connectors for a reliable, sealed connection on the bike.
It's protected against load dump, reverse polarity, overcurrent and overvoltage — every input and output on the board is automotive-protected.

- InputsAnalog inputs + 2× CAN bus
- CommunicationUSB
- ConnectorsTE Superseal 1.0
- ProtectionLoad dump, reverse polarity, overcurrent, overvoltage
Timeline: schematic and PCB layout — 3 to 5 days after requirements are confirmed. Manufacturing — 5 to 10 days.
Cost: for the board shown here, total cost — design, manufacturing and shipping — was €430 for 2 units. With larger quantities, the cost per board drops considerably.
