About

STEM Applied

We love Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.

These are unprecedented times to get going with tools that were only available to professionals, and required significant investments, just a few years ago!

The Open Source community, first with software and more recently with hardware, has made Electronics and Computer Science the main drivers for this revolution. However, the revolution is expanding to mechanical engineering, 3D printing, Management Engineering, robotics, cobotics, industrial automation, and a whole lot of good stuff.

We call that STEM Applied.

What do we do?

Makers, Engineers, Teachers, Researchers, Students, Scientists, all have ideas and needs that today can be developed as DIY, with relatively small investment in equipment and tools. The wealth of information in the Web is phenomenal: platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone, ESP32 have large communities of developers and large tutorial bases, examples, hands-on projects to experiment with.

Once a prototype is made though, and when it is time to customize it into a working, usable system, hobbyists realize how hard it is, to actually implement an algorithm and a physical system to plug in and make it do its function.

The libraries out there are many, and it is often seamless to get to test a prototype or an idea. However, when it is time to actually consider how the project could be in fact installed and used, many issues arise, and require a lot of passion, development and sweat.

Typical examples are:

I got a nice robot, and all the tutorials work. But, if I set it to follow a taped black line, I am not able to send it commands through the remote or the bluetooth interface.

I am able to send information from my Arduino to the Web, but the system does not restart if the wifi connection goes down

I developed a cool system, but I realized that I need a user interface to change functional parameters while operating

Here’s where we help

We have many years of experience in Electronics design and Computer Science, and many years of solutions development where we have handled issues that require connectivity, user interface, device commissioning, all the while performing regulation and control.

Our Applications are just that: Solutions that one can use as they are, or customize to their needs since all our projects are Open Source. We provide, where applicable, all the details for:

  • Hardware Design: Schematics and PCB
  • Industrialization and device commissioning
  • Firmware design and development
  • Software design and development
  • Web Applications
  • Mobile apps

FCC Warning

All shields / educational / evaluation kits in this website are intended for use for EVALUATION, DEMONSTRATION, EDUCATIONAL OR ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT ONLY, and are not considered by STEM Applied to be a finished end-product suitable for general customer use.

For shields intended for microcontroller modules such as Arduino MKR1000 WiFi or Espressif ESP32, said modules have been FCC approved for the manufacturer and are labeled with the respective FCC ID. However, together with intended radiation, several submodules generate, use, and can radiate radio frequency energy that has not been tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio frequency interference.

Although the design of each shield has been performed following regulatory and manufacturers’ recommendations, operation of this equipment in environments other than experimental may cause interference with radio communications, in which case the user at their own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be required to correct such interference.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Persons handling the product(s) must have electrical/electronics training and observe good engineering practice standards. As such, the goods being provided are not intended to be complete in terms of required design and/or manufacturing related protective considerations, including product safety and environmental measures typically found in end products that incorporate such components or circuit boards. These kits and components do not fall within the scope of the European Union directives regarding electromagnetic compatibility, restricted substances (RoHS), recycling (WEEE), FCC, CE or UL, and therefore may not meet the technical requirements of these directives or other related directives.
