Hi Reader, Happy to announce that RobotShop now carries the Mooshimeter in 4 catalogs including the US, Canada, UK and EU. For links to those specific catalogs, check the distributors page. Debugging robotics problems was what I had in mind when first designing the Mooshimeter, so I’m especially excited to work with them. ~James
Hi Reader, Minor update for users who have had trouble receiving email from the moosh.im server. This has affected some users who want to participate in the forum but never received their registration emails.

Hi Reader, Two weeks ago ElectroBOOM used a Mooshimeter in one of his videos, which drew a surge in traffic to this website and drove a corresponding surge in sales. Thank you ElectroBOOM! I’ve actually started working on a thank you gift, more on that in another blog post. With surges in sales come surges […]

It’s not a fire hazard but it’s […]
Hi Reader, Last week I went to South Dakota to meet the new contract manufacturer, Electronic Systems Inc (ESI). Since this is their first manufacturing run of the Mooshimeter, I wanted to be on hand to make sure there weren’t any unspoken assumptions they were missing. It would be a sad event to end up with hundreds […]
Hi Reader, Last week Electronic Systems Inc. started their first manufacturing run of the Mooshimeter, and I was on site to support and help transfer some of the unwritten knowledge that goes with a new product. I’ll write a post about that visit soon, but for now suffice it to say I came away very impressed. Knowing […]
Hi Reader, Some updates from the last few weeks: Regulatory Updates Our European distributor, Elektor, was contacted by German authorities who found some problems with the documentation being supplied with the Mooshimeter.
