website for bids on a design wanted!

Greetings everyone.

Does anyone know of a web site that you can place a electronic design
project on, and people can bid on the project?

Kind of like.. getafreelancer.com but more for electronics design?

Thanks
-Richard

Designing hardware takes a bit more than just doing a
layout for some simple schematics. Often the specifications
are unnecessarily unfortunate, trading good features for
a fart due to a lack of better understanding.

I'm sorry guys.. I'm afraid that I don't understand, or at the least
comprehend your replies?

I own a company, we have a computer add on peripheral device that we
created a few years back, and it's about time we upgraded it to version
2(going from cereal to USB).

I'm simply asking where I can find freelance electronic professionals
that can work on a temporary project to re-design our current device?

You meant serial, ye olde RS-232, right? Whew, compared to USB, with
plug-and-play, Windows drivers, Windows registry, etc., etc., that's
another matter entirely.

This is for a design that you'll produce for a reasonable price, sell,
and support for the next 15 years? You'll need a considerable budget.

For example, an engineer that's familiar with say a Cypress USB chip
or a Future Technology FT245 IC will expect some compensation for his
software libraries and his hard-earned knowledge as he imparts it to
your design.

As an alternate you could give your customers USB-to-serial adapters,
or even build one into your instrument. There are a few good choices.

Try: http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/default.asp

They have a section for embedded system designs.

Richard, so why didn't you say so? We are not mind readers.

Sorry I can't help. I'm long retired.

I've seen posts before about http://innoengineer.com - brand new website I
guess. Read any fine print...

Quite true, although 'dyslexia' may be somewhat too 'big' for the
context, and I'm not sure that it's all that surprising. It's something
to do with the division of function between the left and right halves of
the brain. There is a gender element as well, of course; males are
generally not as good with words as females.

Totally agree Bill,

Some of the most brilliant engineers that we've hired, are a little...
well, shall we say, off the wall. The last guy just up and disappeared
on us.. and now we can't locate him to give him his royalties.

Spelling is essentially a *memory* problem. Science is generally taking
a few simple axioms and *deriving* the results. One doesn't have to
actually remember much input in comparison to the output generated in
sy, designing a circuit.

It is for some people. For some of THEM, a lot depends on experience.
But I've noticed that when Fred Bloggs is in a 'mural' phase, a
response, with mural (a very large ASCII schematic), appears extremely
quickly after the original enquiry. I suspect that at least some of
these solutions DO spring, 'fully-formed' into his mind. To what extent
Win has the same experience, I wouldn't venture to speculate.

The Welsh have a word for it, it's the state of mind of a bard when he
is inspired by his 'awen' (Muse). I have experienced it (in electronics)
successfully twice. In both cases, a problem was described to me and the
non-trivial solution instantly appeared in my mind - no reasoning or
calculation at all.

Of course, you do get false inspirations as well, but there is a
difference; you 'know' that the real ones are true, without a shadow of
doubt. It's like 'lightning calculation', I feel sure, and I sometimes
get it when searching for an anagram - a true anagram 'feels' correct.
