I'm Benoît, a young yet experienced electronics engineer. I would be more than happy to help you with this project.
I suggest developing this project over a 2 week period, using the following schedule:
- 1 to 2 days to analyze the specifications and come up with the general approach for the project.
- 3 days to establish the system's internal functionalities, how they will interconnect together and come up with the software logic if a microcontroller is required.
- 4 days to do the schematic of the board and start implementing the microcontroller code if applicable (the logic parts).
- 4 days to do the routing of the PCB and finish implementing the microcontroller code if applicable (hardware related configuration). If needed, I can do mechanical drawings for an enclosure during that step.
- 1 to 2 days to finalize the last details, prepare files for manufacture, and catch up with delay if any was encountered.
You will get detailed reports as to how the project is going every day, and a summary of all the work done at the end of every step.
Concerning extra services, I can, as you can see in the schedule, design an enclosure for the project if needed. We can also continue our collaboration to the prototyping phase afterwards, with a new budget for sourcing the components and the PCB, but we can discuss this later on.
