Get a board with few peripherals (LCD, LEDs, Keys, Sensors, USB Port) Or make your own board Take ready libraries and demo programs Try out all sample programs. More details of my designs are at

Arduino ATMEGA 328 with boot loader for programming Alphanumeric LCD (20 Char X 4 Lines) Real Time Clock with battery back up I2C based EEPROM Infra red sesnor + Infra red remote handset with more than 21 keys Light Sensor Temperature sensor USB port to connect to computer / program

Lab 1 - Send "Hello World" to PC thru USB port Lab 2 - Display "Hello World" on LCD and PC Lab 3 - Same as Lab 2 + Display counting from 1 onward on LCD as well as PC Lab 4 - Same as Lab 3 + counting starts from key pressed on PC Keyboard Lab 5 - Accept Hours and Mins from PC. Display Digital Clock in Hours: Mins: Secs in 24 hour format Lab 6 - Read time from battery backed up RTC. Display time on LCD and PC, Time setting from PC when needed Lab 7 - Decode key pressed on IR Remote handset based on uPD6121. Display all four codes on LCD/PC. Lab 8 - Sequential switching on of seven leds one by one Lab 9 - Remote controlled switch. Control of seven leds by IR Remote. Lab 10 - Sends values of LDR from arduino and display on serial monitor/LCD Lab 11 - Shows the dimming/enhancing effect of LED's using pwm from arduino Lab 12 - Sends values of temperature sensor from arduino and display on serial monitor/LCD

Try out this board from CHIPKIT based on Microchip PIC32MX795

What ever be your need, search for hardware and libraries for net. You will find them, Real job is to integrate them, It still takes time. But you save time for creating basic hardware or software.

One of my customer wanted to add energy monitoring for his housing society I search on the net and found open energy monitor. 3 days to have a working demo

Open source program from internet…

Open source library for GPS…

Open source software…

Ready solution for every thing Free. (read the license - you will be in a major trouble if you just use it in your product or design by violating the terms)

Seven of my commercial designs have been published in EFY (between 1997 and 2011)

I have started using Linux and other open source software. This has reduced my cost and removed the fear of getting caught by using pirated software. It improves my image. My customer gets a copy of all circuit and software. He is confident and has more confidence in me. He knows that I only provide incremental innovation (or design) and charge for that. So he knows that costs and time are less and is more inclined to do business with me. He does not ask for exclusivity as he knows that I am not the complete designer/owner of the design.
