Making precision control and instrumentation accessible to everyone.
SwiftCircuit is a non-profit open-source initiative focused on developing high-precision control systems and instrumentation that anyone can build, modify, and improve. We believe that advanced control systems shouldn't be locked behind expensive proprietary solutions.
We develop and maintain open-source hardware projects focusing on:
- Precision motor control systems
- High-accuracy measurement instruments
- Modular control platforms
- Educational resources and documentation
Our projects emphasize practical implementations, detailed documentation, and real-world reliability. We're not just sharing designs - we're building a community of makers and engineers who can learn from and build upon each other's work.
We're developing a series of educational boards specifically designed to demonstrate real-world electronic challenges and solutions. These boards help engineering students understand concepts like:
- Ground bounce and poor grounding effects
- Power supply noise and filtering
- Signal integrity in high-speed designs
- EMI/EMC practical considerations
- Thermal management challenges
Each board comes with comprehensive documentation and lab exercises, making them perfect for university-level electronics education.
We're creating cost-effective, open-source modules for cutting-edge sensors and ICs that are typically hard to access or expensive to prototype with. Current focus includes:
- Time-of-Flight sensors (VL53L8CX, etc.)
- Precision ADCs and DACs
- Advanced IMU configurations
- Signal conditioning circuits
Our modules emphasize practical design, easy integration, and complete documentation.
Transform any brushed DC motor into a high-precision smart servo with absolute encoding. Perfect for robotics, CNC applications, and precision automation.
A precision arbitrary waveform generator designed for system identification and control system analysis. Delivers exceptional signal quality up to 500 kHz with 80 dB SNR.
While we maintain high engineering standards, we keep our communication and documentation approachable and practical. No corporate speak, no unnecessary complexity - just clear, detailed information that helps you understand and build upon our work.
