Embedded Systems Engineering, New Zealand
Hardware and firmware built to survive the field, not just the bench.
MicroCore Systems designs, builds, and debugs embedded electronics for marine, agricultural, and industrial use. Most of the work starts the same way: a board that runs fine on a desk and then fails once it is out in salt air, engine heat, or vibration. We design for those conditions from the first schematic, and we stay on the project when something needs to be traced in the field.
Products
Industrial grade embedded electronics, architected for professional and commercial deployment.
Marine Solar Charger
IP67-rated, fanless 250W MPPT charger for 12V/24V multi-chemistry battery banks. Native CAN-bus (NMEA 2000), dual-mode wireless monitoring, and Wi-Fi/Ethernet Modbus TCP.
Wireless CAN-bus Bridge
Compact Bluetooth dual-mode (BT + BLE) to CAN-FD adapter. Native SAE J1939 and NMEA 2000 support for wireless diagnostic and configuration access from any smartphone or laptop.
Automated Schematic Digitiser
ML-driven vision recognition that turns static schematic images into editable, production ready Altium and KiCad projects, slashing drawing time from hours to minutes.
Mobile Wireless Programmer & Bluetooth Manager
Wired or wireless MCU/MPU programming and OTA firmware updates from a smartphone, secure field configuration and Bluetooth peripheral management.
Services
Consulting, design, and support for industrial and automotive embedded systems.
Engineering Consultancy
Architecture strategy, MCU/MPU selection, and power and communication network design, hands on technical guidance for mixed signal hardware, software, and firmware.
Custom Electronics Design (R&D)
Multilayer PCB layout, high speed signalling, and power electronics, engineered for EMC/EMI and AEC-Q compliance from schematic through volume manufacturing.
Electrical Diagnostics & Support
Board bring up and signal integrity testing to trace protocol level faults, resolve persistent legacy bugs, and bring hardware to EMC compliance.
Firmware & Connected Software
Bare-metal, RTOS, and Embedded Linux (Yocto) firmware, plus desktop and mobile companion apps for device provisioning, diagnostics, and telemetry.
