Sensors, Software, and Electronic Design

Voler has a highly experienced staff that can develop your complete new product using sensors, software, and electronic design. We focus on medical devices, and we use our high quality to develop aerospace, industrial, and consumer products that work the first time. We design analog and digital circuits including FPGAs, microprocessors, analog-to-digital converters and interfaces such as USB, Ethernet, serial, and others. We do software including, embedded firmware, drivers, and applications. We do system integration for data acquisition, machine vision, or motion control. We develop complete products or just the part you need. We are experienced with:

  • Medical devices
  • Sensor signal conditioning and analog-to-digital converters
  • Embedded design: microprocessors and FPGAs
  • FPGAs: Altera and Xilinx using Quartus, ISE, ModelSim, VHDL, and Verilog tools.
  • Windows drivers and DLLs
  • Linux and QNX drivers
