Looking to enable AI based configuration of smart devices and sensors?
AI agents can generate programs, but often fail when working in the embedded space. Our technology enables LLM created logic, to be deployed to edge devices, in realtime, by customers.
Custom configurations in seconds.

In a saturated space, how can your products stand out?
Dynamic enables your product to run logic defined by the end-user, using a familiar language. This often eliminates the need for external PLCs, giving your customers unprecedented control and you a competitive edge.

Want to see how Dynamic makes configuring devices with custom logic, super easy?
This video is captured from our upcoming digital twin based training system, and uses an emulated ARM Thumb micro internally.
It runs the same on real hardware, only faster :)

Had a great mentorship discussion w/ a former coworker, who does startup guidance.
We really honed in on how my messaging needs to change, and what the real problems my tools are targeting.

I've been taking the week off for some family time. We did some axe throwing, and skill building.
It's amazing how much overlap there is between helping mentor people professionally and teaching your kids life skills.
This one was especially about the importance of celebrating our successes.

This past week was spent on some backend business tasks. Presentations, technical documentation, architecture overviews, and a few quarterly business reviews.
Plus a side-quest to keep my parts bins organized while being transported.
It was nice to reflect on the progress I've made.

We made the mock UI for configuring Dynamic RC!
It shows how you map buttons to channels, this one is using our method to make spreadsheet-style formulas that run on-device.
Any ideas for other ways to map buttons to servos, motors, relays we could try out?

Mechanical design in-progress for Dynamic RC. 10 channels, two inputs, and programmable button mappings for your Bluetooth gamepad.
Our goal is to make including servos, relays and lights, SUPER easy. We built tools that make it quick and easy to configure, with lots of flexibility.

Testing the CNC controls for the first time. Starting with the pulse generator, axis selection and homing.
Each button press or dial change sends Gcode to the CNC controller.

I've made a large amount of progress, but formally writing up my successes? That feels weird.
Writing updates is one of the least-fun parts of trying to launch something.

I love the control panel I made for my DIY CNC. Each cherry MX switch sends the Gcode directly into the CNC controller, and shows status and toggles.
It was really fun to design and build this configurable panel setup, based around Eurorack rails.

The Gloink build progresses! I have some testing and experiments to run on controlling the reaction wheel. This is a quick testbed for that!
Soon, all will be Gloink!

Story time!
One of my favorite activities when in a new country, is learning little phrases in the local language. I always start with "please", and "thank you".
That smile you get from someone, when you show you have put in the effort.
Especially, as someone from the USA.

Today was a coaching and collaboration day:
* Intro call w/ a local entrepreneurship non-profit.
* A peer discussion with another startup founder in manufacturing tech - through a good friend.
Good things to think about. Plus, it's fun to practice the pitch and hear others give theirs!

Spent a chunk of today doing accounting and other such stuff, but also got our main website up and running finally.
It's short and simple on purpose. But I would love feedback from anyone who has it!
Explanations for the tech itself are incoming, but I wanted to get something up to start with.

Today's project is a prototype reaction wheel for our "Gloink" build. We'll make the real one w/ metal in the future. The holes are for M5 bolts to vary the mass.
Using a BLDC motor, with this print, to figure out the control formulas. Then to figure out motion and steering.

For our first "flagship" product, we're leaning towards a Bluetooth R/C controller for prop makers.
The "pitch": Use spreadsheet-style formulas to define the mapping between buttons and outputs. Everything runs on-device once programmed, and can be tested as fast as you update the formula.

Our driving hypothesis:
There are people who want to focus on the creative aspects of their projects, not the electronics.
Logic using simple formulas and numbers, can do for electronics, what they already did for accountants and engineers.
With better tools, creativity happens faster.
