Hi Reader, For the last few months I’ve been hammering on firmware and app updates. They ended up going way deeper than I meant to; the firmware and apps had accrued a lot of technical debt getting the Mooshimeter out to market as fast as possible. The new features have just been released to Android beta, you can join […]
Hi Reader, It’s been a while! Many apologies for the long radio silence. I’ve been updating the Mooshimeter apps and firmware.

Hi Reader, **Updates December 18 2015 – See end of post** For the last few weeks I’ve been chasing some frustrating issues with Bluetooth Low Energy on Android.

Dear Reader, When designing a low power product, it’s important to know the voltage profile of the batteries you’re using. I decided to set up a test on Friday (it’s Sunday now) to make sure the batteries we’re shipping with the Mooshimeter live up to their specs. I pulled a single AA from our battery […]
Dear Reader, Last week 6 production samples of the second manufacturing run and we’ve been testing them. One of them had refused to accept a calibration, the other five had passed all production testing. These are the first 6 “ready to ship” Mooshimeter kits that have not come directly out of our offices – as […]
Hi Reader, Quick update on manufacturing run #2 for all those who have preorders: Most of the mechanical parts come from China. The container they were put in was pulled for random x-ray when it arrived in LA a few days ago. The shipping agent has told me the inspection is ongoing and there is […]
