Mentor Computer Consulting provides system and software design services to create small-scale communications and control processors using a broad range of digital and mixed-signal microcontrollers.   MC-Squared has served its commercial customers by developing effective hardware/software solutions in the areas of communications systems, user input devices and a variety of control systems.

MC-Squared began designing microcontroller- and microprocessor-based systems in the mid-1970s with the Intel 8008 (first general-purpose 8-bit microprocessor, running at a blazing 200KHz!) and Intel 1702 (first EPROM, a 2K-bit device), and later the Intel 8080, MOS Technology 6502, Motorola 6800, Zilog Z80 and Intel 8048.  In the early days a useful "micro controller" with just 1KB of program memory occupied an entire board and cost about $500.00!   MC-Squared has since used succeeding generations of microprocessors, single-chip microcontrollers, mixed-signal processors and digital signal processors to digitize the world for its clients, and a single-chip microcontroller can provide more power than that earlier board for less than a dollar!
