A division of Stout Sound & Design LLC

Intricate Designs Studio

Hardware and electronics design for connected consumer products: custom PCB design, embedded firmware, wireless networking, printed enclosures and mobile integration.

Capabilities

From schematic to finished part.

Connected products need a board, the firmware on it, something to put it in, and an app to talk to it. All four are done here.

Electronics & PCB Design

Custom circuit and PCB design for connected products, through to manufacturable board files.

  • Schematic capture and PCB layout
  • Design-rule and netlist verification before fabrication
  • Embedded platforms including ESP32-class wireless SoCs

Embedded Firmware

Firmware for the boards, including wireless networking and the protocol a companion app talks to.

  • Sensor handling and device logic
  • Wireless networking between devices
  • A defined protocol shared with the mobile app

Printed Hardware & Enclosures

Additive-manufactured enclosures, mounts and fixtures, designed for the process that makes them.

  • Enclosures and mounts designed around real print constraints
  • Tolerance-tested fits rather than nominal dimensions

Product Development

Taking a connected product from an idea to hardware, firmware and the app that drives it.

  • Prototype through pilot build
  • Hardware, firmware and mobile treated as one product
Method

Verified, not assumed.

Boards are checked against their netlists before fabrication and printed parts are proved with tolerance coupons rather than nominal dimensions. It is cheaper to find a mistake in a design-rule check than in a reel of assembled boards.

Projects

Hardware and fabrication work.

CH.E.S.S. — Electronic Cornhole Scoring Hardware

CH.E.S.S. — Electronic Cornhole Scoring

A three-tier electronic cornhole scoring system: custom boards, wireless networking between them, and a phone app that keeps the match.
