Technical docs: The reference behind the work.
Every platform we program: the hardware families, the software, the files to send with an RFQ, lifecycle facts, and the manufacturers’ own documentation.

Zip project folders before you upload them; the form takes files up to 10 MB. Over 10 MB, email it to sales@ts-controls.com instead.
How these pages work
Live sources, our notes.
Manuals, firmware and lifecycle status change. Each platform page links to the manufacturer’s live source, so you always read the current revision, and adds what we have learned putting that hardware back into production.
Official, current
Links open the manufacturer’s own site or PDF. Nothing is a stale copy.
Lifecycle, sourced
Every end-of-life date on these pages links to where it came from.
Written for RFQs
Each page lists exactly which files to send, so the first quote is not a guess.
Backed by field notes
Related questions from The Floor sit at the bottom of each page.
