usisky: ^^^peace bro'. Cool! Wish u success. Are u strictly into digital designs or do u do analog designs as well? I mean like power electronics stuffs? Maybe SMPS designs....either DC-AC, AC-DC Or AC-AC power conversion systems? Just curious, dats all! Thanks and good job

Vision

Microscale’'s long term vision is to be a world recognized leader in the creation of intellectual property i.e. patents and royalties for the global semi conductor hardware and software design industry currently estimated to be worth $260 billion

Mission

Our mission is to promote electronics as a viable industry in Nigeria and to be a one stop shop for products and services required to produce all electronics product.

Contract Design

We offer custom design and fabrication services of electronics and controller boards (PCBs), featuring microcontrollers and FPGAs. Our Design services are affordable and we complete projects on schedule. [Typical project completes within 60 days: including prototypes, PCB, components and Enclosure]
Microscale’s design services offer an integrated suite of product design and development services focused on helping our clients solve their design and product development problems in record time.

We strive to become partners with our clients, integrating smoothly within their development systems; viewing ourselves as an extension of their in-house team.

usisky: PEACE ALL.

@ Jude. i wanna know: what fascinating projects have u designed thus far as an electronics expert or enthusiast? PEACE!

cogitoErgo:
sorry, PIC microcontroller

cogitoErgo: @princejude and others, please I need a little help here! I have this project idea where several switches (reed switches, like 8 ) will be connected to a PIC, if any of the switches closes(one at a time), a message will be displayed on a 16x1 lcd. The message displayed depends on the switch closed.
Please, which PIC module do you think will be most suitable for this type of project?

cogitoErgo: Sorry Princejude, I used my laptop and I saw the price list, with 16f887, everything will cost 13000naira.
@princejude, I just saw something on BBC Click program now and I dont know if microscale could also organise such thing in Nigeria, its called Maker Faire! its a kind of an exhibition where all home techys and tech hobbysts will show their handwork and have a chance to interact.

Tchalz: Engr pls cud yu post the cost of the modem and PIC MCU for this project as I intend to include them on my list of items.Tnx
