The engineers at a boat engine manufacturing company needed more electrical engineering expertise to create schematics, PCB layouts, and prototypes for an LED keypad and circuitry to communicate with their ECU. As a solution, they approached Henway to develop the custom electronics and source the production PCBs and custom keypads.
To start a project like this, you need to engage in conversations we call Q&A sessions to thoroughly understand the project’s needs before diving into the fun part: schematic and PCB layout. The Q&A discussions feed into the creation of a Project Requirements Document (PRD), system block diagram, project acceptance criteria, and each party’s responsibilities. After finalizing the details, the next step is choosing the main components and documenting how to test the thing.With this level of understanding, Henway engineers can design the schematics and PCB layout, create prototypes, and develop the firmware.
Shortly after the documentation phases, the engine company got their production-grade LED keypad.
