First sensor test successful

Finally, after a lot of work on the sensor shape and even a longer one with the patent offices, we can disclose one of the possible sensor shapes. Intelligent Structures sensors are now patented and they work very well at detecting incoming impact waves.

Honorable defeat

Valencia was not so sweet as we hoped. (link) It was however a great experience as well as a good opportunity to receive feedback and suggestions. Beside, the idea of gathering power from the waves -the winner idea- is much greener than our's: good job Wavetube!

Much more than expected!!!

From the ninth to the second place it was really an unexpected recovery! And a really rewarding one too! (link) We won three prizes: #StartCupER second place, Clean Launch Pad first place (link) and the access to the PNI as one of the three regional representatives.
Theoretically speaking we also won some money: let's hope for the best!

It was close, but we're in!

Ninth place it's a little worse than we expected, but we're still alive and kicking.

In a couple of weeks we'll see if all the work done is going to pay its due at #techgarage.

Techweek

It has been a tough week last one: #techweek (link) has stressed out our startup idea. Nevertheless we've been productive, so let's hope for the best! We need to be in the top 10 to move on to the next phase #techgarage #fingercrossed.

Interface prototype

Our sensors wouldn't be complete without a proper interface.

So here it is the first prototype! With USB and external power

automatic switchover for dealing with long sensor chains.

First sensor node produced

Here's the first Intelligent Structure sensor node.

Small a coin, light as a piece of paper.

And only 40mW of power consumption!
