	Fast prototyping		Just one of our prototypes ...
	We also offer a fast prototyping service, please contact us for more info. Example ... This interactive sensor allows user interaction from behind glass, and measures the hand movement, and replicates this on the leds, changing colour with change of direction. Output is via RS232 or contact closure. Based on capacitance Qprox technology.

	Digital Pyrotechnic System We recently designed and built a digital pyrotechnic system for special effects company Machineshop. The complete system was designed and built within 2 weeks to delivery. Using our existing Radio Control experience, we came up with a design to allow up to 40 channels to be remotely triggered. Uniquely, the system allows the operator to also get feedback from the firing units to check that a pyrotechnic is connected properly. The transceiver firing units contain a pp3 battery and easy removeable connectors to allow easy connection to pyro / motors

	Radio security to eliminate false triggering was high on the agenda, this required programming the system to work with 16 million combination password. Whilst still allowing an immediate firing.		Since the system was designed, it has been seen used on BBC1 Rogue Traders, to trigger motors hidden away to frighten a conman, and was used on stage to the West End Eurovision 2009.
