Ah yes, the joys of product development. It takes a few design iterations to get a product just right.

In the upper left: a little proto-board where a basic circuit and firmware can be tested and tweaked easily. Once we are confident that we are on the right track, we can invest some time and money into a more complicated, more representative, and easy-to-work-with test PCB. (As seen in the middle-ground) Next, we take what we have learned and miniaturize - the goal being to retain all of the needed functionality, but jam it into the enclosure that our mechanical engineering team came up with.

Take a look at the AutoBlock AMP product page for some renderings of what it will eventually look like.

Still to go before releasing into production: iron out some details - finalize enclosure design, finalize PCBs, test LED blink scheme, finish analog voltage output firmware, etc...

stay tuned!

Our newest friend, LincVolt, uses our EVEZSD for connecting and disconnecting the enormous battery pack from the rest of her system. Now her mechanics (and best friend, Neil Young) can be certain that there will be no power going where it shouldn't be during maintenance.

We are proud to be a small part of this exciting project, and look forward to seeing more amazing things from the LincVolt team.

We have spent quite a while now testing out our AutoBlock RPM and are almost ready to start shipping. We wanted to make certain that this thing would work well next to large DC motors and big (electrically) noisy motor controllers. As a result of our stellar (toot toot) electrical engineering, this thing works great.

Here you see the USB cable wrapped around a large, current carrying cable. No lost packets!
