Welcome to Sirius microSystems!
Sirius microSystems specializes in designing and producing custom embedded control products based on the Microchip PICmicro® family of microcontrollers. Our products are designed to help you or your students learn about electronics and microcontroller programming. We care about education. Check out our exciting new circuits!
CHRP
CHRP 2.0
CHRP stands for Common Hardware Robotics Project. CHRP grows with you as you learn about microcontrollers, robotics, and computer interfacing. It's a great starting point if you want to learn all about PICmicro® programming and make your own projects.
WAND
WAND
Are you dreaming of a simple, inexpensive and fun circuit to learn about microcontrollers? Just wave the magic* WAND and your dreams become reality. (*Ok, it's not magic, but the Wave A Neat Display circuit is a great, simple introduction to microcontrollers.)
UFO
UFO
It's round and has flashing lights. It must be an Unidentified Flashing Object! The UFO is a simple circuit that uses a microcontroller to flash LED lights. UFO is a fun and easy beginner project that's also easily hackable.
Details coming soon.

What's new?
2010-07-22 - Working on the new WAND circuit in preparation for my PIC assembly code presentations at the CEMC Summer Institute <csteachers.ca>, August 4-6.
2010-03-20 - Working on a solar-powered lead-acid battery charger/monitor circuit. Why? I need a way to power my family camping adventures when I'm off the grid.
2009-09-24 - Getting ready to place a CHRP 2.0 order. The minimum order from our pcb supplier is around 100 boards. Many schools don't need that many circuit boards. So, I will pool the requests from all interested parties so that we can order in bulk. The bigger the order, the lower the cost per board. If you are interested in using the CHRP, please email with your anticipated order quantity and I'll give you the details.
2009-08-21 - Led CHRP construction and robot seminars at the CEMC Summer Institute <csteachers.ca>.
