What we can build for you

Hardware and firmware work, handled by one team.

PCB & Circuit Design

Schematic capture through to Gerber files, ready for manufacturing.

Embedded Programming

ESP32, STM32, Arduino and Raspberry Pi firmware, built and tested.

Firmware Development

Reliable firmware for your own board or product, written and tested against real hardware.

IoT Development

Connected devices that report data and take commands over the network.

Hardware Debugging

Find and fix faults in boards, power, sensors and firmware that isn't behaving.

Product Prototyping

From single working prototypes to small-batch manufacturing support.

Custom Electronics R&D

Research and proof-of-concept work for ideas that don't have a reference design yet.

Automation Development

Control and monitoring systems for homes, industry and custom products.

Development Areas

Platforms and technologies we work with

The hardware and protocols we already use across our products, courses and projects.

  • Arduino
  • ESP8266 / ESP32
  • STM32 microcontrollers
  • Raspberry Pi
  • IoT & MQTT
  • Sensors & actuators
  • PCB design
  • Embedded firmware
Project Workflow

How a project runs

Six clear stages from first message to handover.

01

Requirement

You describe the idea, the constraints and what 'done' looks like.

02

Technical planning

We choose the approach, components and plan the scope before building.

03

Development

Circuit, PCB and firmware are developed against the agreed plan.

04

Prototype

A working prototype is built so you can see and try it.

05

Testing

The design is tested and issues are fixed before handover.

06

Handover

Files, firmware and documentation are delivered so you can take it forward.

Suitable Projects

Projects we're a good fit for

Prototype development

Turn an idea into a working proof of concept.

PCB design

A custom board for a prototype or a product.

Firmware development

Firmware for a board you already have.

IoT systems

Devices that connect, report and respond remotely.

Automation systems

Control and monitoring for a home, plant or product.

Electronics product development

From concept toward a manufacturable product.

Why OTS WORLD

An electronics team, not a marketplace listing

Hardware and firmware together

The same team designs the board and writes the code, so the two fit.

Hands-on with real hardware

We build and test on actual boards, sensors and modules.

Prototype to small batch

Support from a first prototype toward small-batch manufacturing.

Clear scope and handover

A plan up front and files and documentation at the end.
