Silicognition LLC¶
Hello there and welcome! My name is Patrick Van Oosterwijck and this is the website for my consulting and electronics and embedded systems design business Silicognition LLC.
Here you will find links to my brands and products, and I will post about things I'm working on and things I learn and want to document for the benefit of my future self and others. I hope you will find something useful here!
If you want to hire me for a custom project, a good way to initiate contact is to send me a message on my LinkedIn.
Below are some examples of my work.
NEW product: ManT1S campaign on Crowd Supply¶
ManT1S does for 10BASE-T1S networking what my wESP32 does for standard Ethernet networking: provide a well-designed and supported base by combining computing, networking and power delivery in a small module.
And since 10BASE-T1S was specifically designed for embedded use cases, the ManT1S is a whole lot smaller, while providing more power! Meanwhile T1S networking allows you to daisy chain up to 8 nodes together to form a network and distribute power, without needing a switch. And to make it easier to work with all this, the ManT1S-Bridge companion device conveniently connects your T1S network to Ethernet and provides PoE power for the T1S network when connected to a PoE switch!
If you like this, please subscribe to the campaign to receive updates!
Standard products¶
I produce and sell various standard products that can simplify your own electronic designs or help with your prototyping needs. You can find them in the side bar on the left under the "Products" heading.
PCB design and prototyping¶
Below are some PCB designs I've made and prototyped for myself or for customers.
RS485 / WiFi ESP32 interface board¶
LiFePO4 C60 solar light charger/controller¶
ESP32-C3 LiFePO4/solar powered dev board¶
nRF52832 LiFePO4/LTO/solar powered LoRa board¶
M4-Shim for PoE-FeatherWing¶
RP2040 with PoE, Ethernet and touch TFT¶
Embedded software development¶
I do embedded software development work, from low level assembly and C code all the way to embedded Linux systems and cloud integration. Most of it is proprietary work for customers, but you can find some of my open source code on Github.
