Services

This type of service is thought for people who need deeper analysis, longer development times and so a higher effort from us. You should choose consultancy service if, for example, you have to design a converter from scratch, you are experiencing longtime EMC issues, you want to have a full schematic/layout review of a PCB you designed.

In this case, write us a mail, selecting the "Consultancy" option from the dropdown menu, detailing your needs.

If you need to share documentation, code and project files with us, we will send you a drive link to upload your data (they won't be shared with anyone). Consultancy requests always have priority on any other type of request we receive.

We can provide quick Help & Support services if you have issues with a small project concerning the design of a circuit, the implementation of a linear or switching converter, a C/C++/Python project or just a theoretical explanation of a subject.

You can write us a mail, selecting the "Help and Support" voice in the request type dropdown menu, detailing your requests. If you need to share documentation, code and project files with me, we will send you a drive link to upload your data.

I (Vanadium, the founder of DIY From Scratch) am an electrical engineers specialized in embedded systems and power electronics, with programming and scripting skills as well. I'm currently employed in the automotive industry but I've collaborated with RnD departments in various fields, acquiring a broad knowledge on technologies, methodologies and solutions to common issues.

To provide an overview of our expertise, I've listed the main topics on which we can offer full support and consultation:

Converter topology selection, components choice, calculations and simulations, review and optimisation. I can work on low to medium power (up to 500kW), low voltages (up to 1kV) energy conversion systems, based on Si, SiC MOSFET and IGBT technologies.

Components selection, electrical simulations, calculations, schematic and layout design reviews.

Design analysis, filters design and simulation, components selection; I can analyse your design in terms of interaction between mechanics and electronics (wiring harness analysis, shielding, board to case connection, common and differential mode propagation) and perform PCB design optimisation for EMI reduction.

Personalised help, support on projects, code reviews.

Support on projects, issues correction and code optimisation; I can help you with C, C++, Python, MATLAB/Octave.

Support and tutoring on DFMEA and FMEA activities, with focus on AIAG & VDA automotive methodology.

Normally, we reply within one week. If, you haven't received any response after this period, please check your inbox for a confirmation of receipt from vanadium@diyfromscratch.eu: if you don't find it, it means that the system didn't receive your request or the email address you entered was wrong.
