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!

Clean Launch Pad

The Clean Launch Pad has been a wonderful experience! Thanks to Lucie, Sara and Ron: you have been a wonderful crew. Also thanks to Silvia, my wife, who assisted us during this boot camp.

Third place!!!

We scored third!!! We're starting to build up some hope for the next phase #techweek.

We'll have a full training week in September. (link)

Another competition?

We were asked to partecipate to another competition: Clean Launch Pad (link). It's about fighting against the #climatechange. Well, Intelligent Structures sensor could allow reducing plane weight and material usage, so we'll take this challeng too!

On stage!

I'd never, ever, have bet on it! We are on stage to illustrate our idea.

Judges are a little bit harsh but we are more convinced than ever!
