App Controlled Mesh Network Design and Locker System Demo


Fri Aug 6 09:26:44 2021

ZuiDesigns sponsored a Grand Valley State University senior project for 2021. The goal of the project was to create a mesh
network of small devices that could connect to and be controlled from a phone application. This design is now complete and being
presented at GVSU's annual design show.


As a proof of concept for the mesh network being a functional system, the senior project team chose to install the mesh network
in a system of lockers. Users can now check out indivial lockers to use, lock and unlock them as needed, and then return the locker
to an unused state.


The current status of the mesh system can be seen here.


The student created introduction to the project can be seen on YouTube.

MSP432 Launchpad Switching Power Supply Shield


Tue Jul 28 22:06:59 2020

ZuiDesigns rarely gets to share PCB design images due to customer confidentiality, but this PCB was completed internally as a quick proof of concept of using the MSP432 as a PID controller to control a switch mode power supply. The design was completed in Altium with all component libraries in our own MySQL SVN Altium libraries (you can see an example of the resistors at altium.zuidesigns.com. The system allows us to quickly determine the best price and in stock options of our ZuiDesigns part numbers at our suppliers and immediately order. It allows prototypes to be purchased and managed without loading down a purchasing department.

Here are the front and back sides of the PCB. The switching power supply portion is at the bottom of the front side.

Altium SVN Libraries


Sun Jul 12 00:09:10 2020

ZuiDesigns has created its own Altium SVN Libraries that can be accessed from our MySQL server from around the world. No matter where we or our customers are located, you can always access the Altium libraries of ZuiDesigns. If you want to know more, contact us. We are willing to collaborate with or support other companies with Altium libraries.


If you want to see an example of what is in our live MySQL database, you can check it out here: altium.zuidesigns.com. That webpage will pull directly from our MySQL server all surface mount resistor invformation. This is exactly what we see in Altium. We can link our database to your ERP system to add pricing and in house stock of components to improve design choices.
