Spot on, friendly, efficient, competent and competitive. It’s great to have these skills locally and to be able to speak face to face with the man who does the job.

We have used Saturn for quite a few bespoke software and electronic design projects over the years. It is very rare they cannot offer a solution to our requirements. We have never bothered to look else where since.

Our ROV (remotely operated vehicle aka an underwater drone) suffered some serious damage to its custom controller board and was unable to power up. The controller board was obsolete with no spares available from the manufacturer and none available on the 2nds market either. We were keen not to consign the complete ROV to the museum, but while understanding the circuits, a repair exceeded our capability in tools and experience, as the board is multi-layered and uses surface mounted devices which are not the easiest components to replace and it is pretty tightly packed out component wise. We had a positive experience right from initial contact with the team at Saturn Solutions. They listened to our problem statement, gave a realistic appraisal of the issues in the repair and ensured we understood the risks, and requested what circuit and board layout diagrams and component lists and details we had be sent to them, then agreed with us what would be done so we were all clear. The main work was done over several weeks during which time they maintained excellent communication with us. The team sourced and progressively replaced board components as agreed, followed by our own testing, and we worked with them to identify and agree what further replacements were necessary, an approach they recommended to minimise unnecessary stressing of the board during removal and replacement. With power distribution fixed the iterative replacement approach identified the need to replace the 100-pin surface mounted micro-controller located in a tight board area, which required Saturn Solutions specialists to be very precise in placement and reflow of the replacement MCU and in protecting surrounding components. This replacement step was perfectly executed. In the end we had a positive outcome with the controller board and the ROV is now working again thanks to the expertise that Saturn Solutions have in PCB repairs. They also completed several other follow up tasks on the ROV such as soldering on new motors and made sure the wiring was tidy - a nice touch - and went on to replace a previously non-critical component on a board which we had been working without, this component was truly blown and on removal a small pit was visible underneath on the board. where it had been located. This was again fixed with repairs to the board and replacing the component, restoring full functionality for us. Overall, we were extremely impressed by the staffs professionalism and experience and the well-equipped workshop and stock to hand of generic components and fast acquisition of specialist components. We certainly recommend them. In fact we are discussing the manufacture and population of several other boards for us.
