Electronic Engineering

The ability to control our environment is what sets men apart from the animals, or so we're told. At TechLab, we make control possible... Need an electronic solution to a problem? We can design and build a solution that will meet your needs. Interfacing computer software to hardware is a specialty - we're currently designing a system to receive telemetry reports via two-way radio, massage that data into speakable words and apply parameter control to advise when conditions exceed safety thresholds via alpha-numeric paging and voice alerts.

If you find that you need electronic service for a unique item, give us a call.

Recent Projects

Completed June, 2008. In cooperation with the computer and two-way department, completed setup and programming of an APRS network which gathers data from remote sites where the local amateur radio repeaters are located, consolidates that data and forms the data into spoken words which are transmitted during the hourly informational announcements and when alarm conditions exist. Several members of our staff are amateur radio operators and enjoy the hobby.

Completed April, 2008. Repair of a local municipality radar sign system used to advise motorists of their speed while traveling in a school zone. The system had been badly impacted by power problems and salt-laden rain which had penetrated the protective housings for the signs.

Completed June, 2007. Design & Build of a small-quantity undercover communications device for a large law-enforcement entity.  They wanted a way to monitor their officers involved in undercover operations while conducting narcotics purchases for safety of the officer.  We devised an interface between a compact two-way radio and a personal stereo device which allowed for two-way communications without attracting undue attention.

Completed November, 2006. Completed final engineering to a significant heating and cooling system for a local government entity. System was improperly installed originally and required substantial re-engineering and custom interface solutions to bring the system on-line.
