CUSTOM FIRMWARE

In concert with Widget Man's software engineers, GKGoodCheapParts can tailor virtually any existing WM device to do things the retail version doesn't do.

For small firmware changes, this can be surprisingly economical. For instance, other customers have already commissioned firmware for our popular FPM brushless fan control to work with 25 Hz Audi fans and SPAL reversible refrigeration fans. These ready-to-go modifications are available for a reduced $50 fee (NRE once-per-purchase). If what you need doesn't already exist, for $90 WM can program any arbitrary Hertz rate and profile. In the case of the Audi fans, the customer got a much cleaner one-device solution for a cost not much more than a standard FPM along with a PCA to adjust the rate. So if any Widget Man device doesn't quite do what you need, ask us about a tweak. In many cases it doesn't need to cost a ton.

Even if what you need isn't simple, if an existing WM circuit board can do the job with slight modifications or different firmware, we can probably solve your problem at a great deal lower cost than a scratch-designed device. You won't know unless you ask!

CUSTOM HARDWARE

Full custom hardware and firmware designs obviously aren't cheap, but if you're an industry pro with a unique need which you confront frequently, a custom widget can be cost effective for as few as 50 pieces, depending on the complexity. We're happy to evaluate and quote on anything you might need, just give us the details.
