Okay so after talking to over pms to a few members i have thrown together a very crude schematic.
this schematic is just for show.
I am very bad at designing a 2 layer board.
I want to get all of the above components on the board and have it as small as possible.
I dont mind smd.
I would also like the board to use direct headers for the lcd, no wires just plug right onto the board.
And the pots must be able to be accessed without having to remove the lcd for active adjustments.
Again i need this board to be as small as possible.
The from TEC part can be just a regular header or plug.
Other than that i think i am close.
i got the software almost ready (buying it)
Basic schematic layout.
programing. (might need some help doing the boot loader and coms. but most of it is covered.)
If there is anything wrong or things i can answer please ask.
Old info and request.
Hello, My name is Aaron.
(Sorry if this is in wrong section or against rules i read them and i did not see any thing against trying to hire some help.)
I am looking to hire a programmer.
Qualifications are as followed.
1. Must be able to program a STM8S (more info here http://www.st.com/mcu/contentid-130-113-STM8S_DISCOVERY.html)
2. Some sort of computer interfacing programing (VB c C# just needs to work.)
3. Skype communication or phone.
Now with the general qualifications out of the way lets get to the task at hand.
What i need.
Program and design the micro controller to act as a volt meter for 0-5v, send this data to the pc software and display on a HD44780 20x4 blue lcd screen.
The micro controller part is very simple. i am going to use it to take a voltage reading from a sensor and have it displayed on both the computer screen and lcd.
Now there are some special features needed besides just reading voltage.
The sensor has a few problems that can be over come by software.
First when the sensor is just started being used it needs a few second to warm up so the program needs to be able to ignore the first 5 seconds of input.
When the sensor is also not sensing heat it take a while to drop back down to 0 so for this the programmer needs to be able to see the fact that the curve is drooping very fast and to auto show zero.
While its reading the data its needs a few active displays.
First is the current reading the next is the peak current reading and third is the average current reading.
The pc software need this as well. But i would also like it to plot a graph.
The pc software needs to graph this info and also be able to save it.
I would like the software to be able to save the graph.
Each graph can be saved to its own name.
So every time you open up a graph you can read again and see the differences between the times its been done.
This feature is so you can see degradation over time.
That is the basic features. there might be more needed.
I have knowledge in programing but its been a while, so instead of spending months on a project it would save me time by letting someone else do it.
This is all for a LPM or a Laser Power Meter

This is a picture of a similar one but we are looking to add a computer interface as well as add the talked about displays.
The laser hits the sensor heat and generates a small current that goes to an opamp. The output from the opamp will go to the chip.
This job will be a paid job and can have installment payments.
Or it can also be a trade.
As i make very high powered Blue lasers.
These are not cheap nor are they made in china i have my own machine shop and they are produces from start to finish in house.
They range in power from 250mw to 1.5w.
These can light matches and burn threw cardboard. cigarettes. and skin
These are not toys.

I will try to add more detail please ask as any questions.
