02 / MY WORK

Cronics.
Electronics and software together.

A website, smart home application, firmware and my own Smart Hub. A project that brings software and device development together.

From the website and application to IR commands on the microcontroller — see how the parts of the system work together.

03 / ABOUT ME

Ilija Opačak.
From electronics to software.

Ilija Opačak, owner of Kodara
The person behind Kodara

My experience began at HEIDENHAIN in Germany. I trained there as an electronics technician for devices and systems, then worked in electronics and application development.

I like to understand the whole system: how a circuit works, how a device communicates and how people use it. Through Kodara I develop websites, online shops, applications and smart devices, and also work on networks and installations. Cronics is my own project combining these fields.

Work at HEIDENHAIN

  • Development of user and web applications and extensions to diagnostic software.
  • Automated testing and commissioning of test systems for measuring devices.
  • Work on electronic circuits and the concept of an incremental signal generator.
  • Support for applications in production and collaboration using Git, JIRA and Confluence.

Programming and technical skills

I mainly work with Python, C++ and Lua. I also use C.

Web applications, microcontroller firmware, sensor integration, test automation, electronic circuits and smart device configuration. My practical experience also includes networks, Wi-Fi, cameras, blinds and weather stations.

04 / HOW I WORK

From discussion
to solution.

First we agree on the problem to solve, then I develop the solution and test it in use.

  1. 01

    Project discussion

    We agree on what you need, where you will use it, and the scope, timeline and price.

  2. 02

    Design and development

    I build the agreed solution and share progress so you can give feedback.

  3. 03

    Testing and handover

    I test the agreed features, show you how to use the solution, and arrange handover or publication.

05 / QUESTIONS

Before we
get started.

What should I prepare for a website?

A business description, your services, contact details, and your logo and photos if available. We can plan the content structure together.

Can I use an existing domain?

Yes. We can connect your existing domain to the new website. If you change domains, we also plan redirects for existing links.

How long does it take and what does it cost?

That depends on the number of pages, content and features. We agree on the timeline and price after defining the project scope.

Will the website work on mobile?

We adapt the design to smaller and larger screens and check readability and usability on mobile.

Can you connect existing smart devices?

I first check the models and communication methods. Integration depends on the specific equipment and the features you want to use.

Can I commission a custom device?

Yes. We can plan firmware development, sensor integration and a control application. We define development and testing around the device's intended use.
