Hi,
thank you for posting such interesting project. In my opinion it could be hard to find one expert experienced in both areas: firmware & hardware (Micro PCB, ESC and brushless motors) but seeing the amount of bidders... you may have a chance.
If you consider to work with several experts I could propose two of my team members:
HARDWARE developer who designed for example:
* an universal board that contains all necessary power electronics and analog and digital data acquisition interfaces to commutate two brushless direct current (BLDC), two brushed direct current (BDC) or one two-phases stepper m motors (dimensions: 30x30x13.5)),
* GPIO/USB interface module (45x45x7)
FIRMWARE developer with following experience (examples):
* Tinnitus device firmware development (embedded wizzard, GUI implementation, freeRTOS, USB, bootloader, mp3 library).
* Drug dispenser firmware implementation (bootloader & firmware update, data storage).
* BSP's development (Atmel SAMA5D36, Intel Atom...).
* Drivers development: Ethernet Driver for BeagleBone (MINIX OS), LCD driver for Renesas chip, WinCE block drivers, SD Card driver for TI DSP, Linux drivers (e.g. PCIe, Powerlink).
We have in our team one newcomer who designed and built his own drone, so we can use his experience to support you as well if need be.
Detailed presentation, project portfolio, and reference letters available upon request.
Availability: july 2016 (to be discussed)
Yours faifhtully,
