INDEPENDENT PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT · EST. 2007
We turn challenging ideas into working technology. Electronics, embedded systems, and software—developed together, from the first prototype to the finished product.

01 / SELECTED WORK
From the playing field to the recording studio, our work connects physical systems with useful information.
SPORTS TECHNOLOGYA pitching lab inside a baseball.
Instrumented baseball technology that measures the motion of a pitch. Development spanning embedded sensing, electronics, and the translation of raw motion data into useful feedback for players and coaches.
MUSIC TECHNOLOGYEngineering with an ear for performance.
Development work on the Moog Taurus bass pedal synthesizer, bringing electronics and embedded product engineering to an instrument designed for hands-on musical performance.
Technology beyond the workbench.
Connected drift-buoy development, joining physical instrumentation with the software needed to follow a device in the field. An application of Ambit’s experience across electronics and connected systems.
02 / DEVELOPMENT EXPERTISE
Good products depend on the connections between disciplines. We work across them, with practical development and testing at every stage.
Custom electronics, PCB design, sensor integration, prototypes, and the practical work of bringing a board to life.
Circuit design / PCB layout / Bring-up
Firmware that connects hardware to the job it needs to do, with close attention to timing, sampling, and communication.
C & C++ / Real-time systems / Device control
Inertial sensing, motion analysis, and signal processing that turn physical activity into measurements worth investigating.
IMUs / Sensor fusion / Motion analysis
Device communications, data capture, and analysis interfaces that make complex systems usable outside the lab.
Bluetooth / USB & Wi-Fi / Visualization
03 / ABOUT AMBIT
Ambit Research, Inc. is an independent development company led by David Rankin. Incorporated in 2007, we bring a hands-on approach to the intersection of electronics, software, and the physical world.
Our foundation includes decades of product development experience, with earlier work on Accushot and the Vector Pro golf launch monitor. That experience continues in sensing platforms, musical instruments, and connected devices.
We learn by building, measuring, and refining. The goal is always a system that works as a whole—and information that helps people do something useful.
