The validation build starts
Our 200-unit engineering validation build is starting with checks for assembly, weather exposure and radio range.
Updates
What we built, what broke and what changed, in the order it happened.
What the deposit pays for
Reservation deposits stay in a separate account and will fund only the first production run's parts order.
Ordering the tooling
We have ordered the steel moulds for Stake and set aside time to check the first moulded parts.
The solar cap, third version
The third solar cap changes the thread, seal and assembly after two earlier enclosures failed outdoors.
What broke in the garden trials
Forty prototypes in twelve gardens exposed cracks, trapped moisture and weak radio connections.
The first probe
Our first bench probe reads soil at two depths so we can see what watering reaches.
