Professional Arduino Development for Commercial Applications
Arduino and IoT technology enable physical objects to sense, respond, and communicate. Our Arduino programming services help UK businesses and creative agencies develop interactive installations, prototype smart products, control custom hardware, and integrate sensors into commercial environments. From simple sensor triggers to complex networked systems, we develop reliable embedded solutions.
Need Arduino expertise for your project? We provide programming, hardware specification, prototyping, and production support for interactive installations and IoT applications. Let's discuss your requirements →
Sensor Integration & Processing
Motion sensors (PIR, ultrasonic, radar), touch sensors (capacitive, resistive, force), environmental sensors (temperature, humidity, light, air quality), distance measurement, sound detection, and custom sensor implementations. We write efficient Arduino code that processes sensor data reliably and triggers appropriate responses.
Applications: Proximity detection, motion triggering, touch interfaces, environmental monitoring, presence sensing, gesture detection, capacitive touch surfaces, pressure-sensitive floors.
Motor Control & Actuation
Servo motors, stepper motors, DC motors, linear actuators, solenoids, and pneumatic valves controlled through Arduino systems. We develop precise motion control for kinetic sculptures, automated mechanisms, robotics, and installations requiring physical movement synchronized with digital content.
Use cases: Kinetic installations, automated displays, robotic mechanisms, door control, curtain automation, product demonstrations, theatrical effects, museum exhibit interactivity.
LED Systems & Lighting Control
Addressable LED strips (WS2812B, APA102), LED matrices, NeoPixel integration, and custom LED arrays programmed for animations, color patterns, and interactive responses. We create lighting systems that respond to sensors, music, data feeds, or network commands for retail, events, and architectural applications.
Applications: Interactive light installations, architectural lighting, product displays, stage effects, ambient lighting systems, visual feedback indicators, color-changing environments.
Network Communication & IoT
WiFi connectivity (ESP8266, ESP32), Ethernet integration, MQTT messaging, HTTP APIs, Bluetooth communication, and LoRaWAN for long-range IoT. We develop networked Arduino systems that send data to cloud services, receive commands remotely, and coordinate with other devices across installations.
Protocols: MQTT messaging, RESTful APIs, WebSocket connections, OSC protocol, serial communication, Bluetooth LE, WiFi Direct, Ethernet TCP/IP.
Display & User Interface Control
LCD displays, OLED screens, TFT touchscreens, segment displays, and custom interface development for Arduino-based systems. We program user interfaces that provide feedback, display information, and accept input for interactive kiosks, control panels, and information displays.
Applications: Interactive kiosks, control panels, information displays, feedback systems, menu interfaces, status indicators, measurement readouts, interactive exhibits.
Power Management & Reliability
Battery operation optimization, solar power integration, low-power sleep modes, watchdog timers, and fault recovery systems. We develop Arduino solutions that operate reliably in commercial environments—handling power fluctuations, recovering from errors, and maximizing battery life for portable installations.
Features: Deep sleep programming, power consumption optimization, battery monitoring, solar charging management, automatic restart systems, error logging, remote monitoring.
Prototype to Production Support
Many projects start with Arduino prototypes but need production-ready reliability. We develop robust code, implement error handling, and create systems that work reliably in public-facing environments without constant technical support.
Discuss Production Requirements →Our Arduino Development Process
Requirements Analysis: We start by understanding what sensors, actuators, and behaviors your project requires. Clear requirements prevent expensive hardware purchases that don't meet needs and ensure Arduino platforms have sufficient capability for intended functionality.
Hardware Specification: Recommending appropriate Arduino boards (Uno, Mega, ESP32), selecting compatible sensors and components, calculating power requirements, and specifying enclosures and mounting. Proper hardware selection prevents technical limitations and integration headaches.
Rapid Prototyping: Quick breadboard prototypes that prove concepts and allow testing interactions before committing to PCB design or permanent installation. Prototyping identifies issues when they're easy and inexpensive to address.
Code Development: Clean, commented Arduino code with proper error handling, state management, and recovery mechanisms. We write maintainable code that others can understand and modify when requirements change or problems need troubleshooting.
Integration & Testing: Connecting Arduino systems with displays, lighting, motors, and network services. Comprehensive testing ensures sensors respond correctly, actuators move precisely, and systems recover gracefully from unexpected conditions.
Documentation & Handover: Complete documentation of wiring diagrams, code comments, troubleshooting guides, and operating procedures. Good documentation enables venue staff to maintain installations and resolve common issues without expensive technical support calls.
Arduino & IoT Applications
Retail Installations: Window displays with motion-triggered content, interactive product demonstrations, queue entertainment systems, sensor-activated lighting, automated displays, customer tracking for analytics, environmental monitoring.
Museum Exhibits: Touch-sensitive displays, proximity-triggered audio, interactive learning stations, artifact protection sensors, environmental control for conservation, visitor flow monitoring, accessible interfaces.
Event Technology: Attendee tracking via RFID, interactive booth experiences, synchronized lighting effects, audience participation systems, environmental sensing for comfort, automated stage effects, social media integration.
Smart Building Systems: Occupancy detection for energy efficiency, automated lighting control, environmental monitoring, access control integration, parking space detection, water leak detection, air quality monitoring.
Product Prototyping: Smart product concept development, IoT device prototyping, proof-of-concept development, investor demonstration units, crowdfunding campaign prototypes, trade show demonstration devices.
Industrial Monitoring: Equipment status monitoring, predictive maintenance sensors, production line tracking, quality control systems, environmental compliance monitoring, alert systems for abnormal conditions.
Why Choose Our Arduino Programming Services
Commercial Reliability Standards: We develop for public-facing environments that demand reliability. Our code includes proper error handling, watchdog timer implementation, automatic recovery from failures, and logging systems that help diagnose issues remotely.
Hardware Integration Experience: Arduino programming is only part of the challenge—physical integration matters equally. We handle wiring, power supply design, enclosure specification, weatherproofing, and mounting that integrates electronics seamlessly into installations.
Network & API Integration: Modern Arduino projects often communicate with cloud services, mobile apps, or content management systems. We develop robust network communication, API integration, and data synchronization that connects embedded systems with broader technology ecosystems.
Scale from Prototype to Production: Projects often start with single prototypes but need multiple units for production deployment. We design systems considering replication—documenting hardware sourcing, creating programming jigs, and developing testing procedures for quality assurance.
Long-Term Support Capability: Arduino installations may operate for years. We provide code that's maintainable, documentation that enables troubleshooting, and support availability for issues that emerge during extended deployments.
