Electronic Design and Construction
One thing I am particularly good at is the design and construction of unique electronic and mechanical systems. Being an eternal electronics experimenter I have designed and built everything from a crystal radio to a digital computer. I have great practical experience and a good sense for what it takes to design and build devices to satisfy complex research tasks.
Best of all, the things I build WORK!
Printed Circuit Board Fabrication.
For sensitive electronics and when large numbers of identical circuits
are required I create printed circuit boards.
This includes the graphic lay out, photo exposure, etching, drilling and
final parts assembly. For simple designs and small numbers I will create and manufacture the board myself. For complex designs and large numbers I use PCB Layout Software and have the boards commercially produced.
Electronic Circuits I've designed and built include:
Bat 'In Flight' Direction Detectors
Rat 'Tail Flick' Digital Measurement
Rat 'Lick' Detectors
Human Skin Conductance Amplifier
Heart Rate Monitor
Human Response Consoles
Bio Feedback Monitor
Push Button Boxes
