Vinay Chaddha

I am an electronic hobbyist and entrepreneur who enjoys converting ideas into working, profitable and sellable embedded electronic products.

I have been playing with electronics since the age of 12. I started my first job in India's first computer company in 1979 and sold my first design to Railways in 1982 during Asian Games and it was installed at All stadiums indicating next train timing.

Focus in 2012 is on M2M communication ie using Mobile, WiFi, Bluetooth, TCP/IP to control and monitor various things like temperature, light, door, security etc..... And as per current trends almost all the designs will incorporate touch screen and color graphics displays.

Learning and sharing knowledge is a passion. I am working on training few students of class X at Nithari Village, Noida using Raspberry-Pi (low cost PC costing). Target is to make 3 students of class X become embedded developer.

Work is fun for me. I keen on working till I succeed. In case of failures, I restart quickly.

I love life and live it powerfully.

Remote monitoring and control of devices is required at number of places. Adding GSM functionality to an electrical appliance or vehicle allow the owner to monitor and control from any where,

Some examples are as below

1. You are away from home and your maid servant switches on Air Con and watches TV. Worst, she invites neighbors 'Ramu' and ..... A GSM device installed in home wiring send an SMS when electrical load consumption increases beyond expected level.

2. Your Kid's school bus is delayed and you are wondering what has happened. You are also curious  to know if it is being driven safely. Well just send as SMS  and bus will reply back with location and speed. You are also sure that as and when driver over-speeds an SMS is sent by bus to the school autorities.

Need and demand of these devices is increasing. 

We have the skills and experience on designing electronic hardware and interfacing with any thing (read the commercial products designed list) and with GSM.
