Product Update

Submitted by celeritous on Wed, 05/02/2012 - 09:42

We are pleased to announce that the USB to Serial cables that are compatible with the OneTouch and FreeStyle blood glucose meters are once again in stock. We thank you for your patience. We have increased production and our production capabilities to meet the increased individual and business customer demand since some of these cables seem to have gone on indefinite backorder from the meter manufacturers.
As always, these will continue to be manufactured in Texas by Texans.

A Tale of Two CAD Programs

Submitted by celeritous on Sun, 08/14/2011 - 20:32

Once upon a time there was a little company  that produced a little schematic and PCB layout tool called Eagle.  It was a frightfully awkward little tool to use, but it had a version that was free so many people flocked to it. Although the free version was limited in board size, layers, nodes, functionality, personality and user friendliness, it was free, so many people flocked to it.

It soon became the de-facto standard of open source hardware designs everywhere, which, unfortunately was also very limiting in what kind of hardware could be developed. Now, for a "nominal fee", you could upgrade to allow bigger boards, more layers and more electrical nodes and the users of the free software could view the designs created thus from afar, but alas, could not modify them or make much use of them in any way.

New Products for Fall 2010 - PCB Milling Accessories

Submitted by celeritous on Sun, 09/12/2010 - 12:38

One of the fastest growing trends we are seeing is the rapid decrease in the cost of hobbyist grade CNC mills and their corresponding increased use in milling custom printed circuit boards. This used to be the exclusive domain of high end equipment manufacturers like T-Tech and LPKF and you would expect to spend upwards of $30-60k for one of these systems.  Now you can buy a small CNC router/mill for less than two thousand dollars and the necessary software for a few hundred dollars.

So..... What's with the new web site?

Submitted by celeritous on Wed, 03/17/2010 - 10:58

If you are a previous or frequent visitor you may notice some major changes in the web site.

We have been using an open source shopping cart package named Zen-Cart for a number of years now. It was functional, but limiting as far as adding other content. To add forums, blogs or technical content required installing and maintaining third party packages such as PHPBB or Wordpress.

CTS9513

 

The CTS9513 ASIC replacement for the AM9513 is dead, gone, finished, kaput, passed on, ceased to be, expired, gone to meet its maker, stiff, bereft of life, resting in peace, pushing up dasies, kicked the bucket, shuffled off this mortal coil. THIS IS AN EX PART!

 

Please do not ask if we have any more, can make anymore or can find anymore for you. It is time to let go of the best 1970's technology can provide and enter the 21st century.
