Peace of Mind at a Glance & Full Open Source Release
As we enter the final hours of the USB VSense campaign, we want to express our sincere appreciation for your support. With the funding goal secured, we are ready to shift gears to manufacturing. Read the full update.
Design Deep Dive #4: Mechanical Sturdiness
We have some incredible news to share: USB VSense is officially funded! As we enter the final stretch of the campaign, we want to thank everyone who has joined us on this journey... To wrap up our technical series, we are releasing the fourth and final chapter of the "Engineering Behind USB VSense" story: "The "Oreo" Architecture: Turning Circuit Boards Into a Rugged, Hackable Chassis."

We Are Funded! (Goal Adjustment, New Bundle, & Extension)
Today, we are announcing three key changes to the campaign structure. Read the full update.
Design Deep Dive #3 - Thermal Resilience
In this update, we talk about expanding the thermal envelope: from 6A stress-testing to 55V step-down dissipation. Read the full update.
Design Deep Dive #2 - The Efficiency Mandate
In our previous update, we discussed the "high voltage" side of the equation and why we chose a 55 V input limit. Today, we are looking at the other side of that coin: current. Read the full update.
Season’s Greetings & the Art of the PCB Swap
Thanks to all of your support, we're now 54% of the way to our funding goal. Thank you! We’ll keep this update short, but we want to showcase a unique feature of our design. Because the enclosure is built from stacked PCBs, the look and function of the device can be completely transformed by simply swapping the outer PCBs. Read the full update.
Design Deep Dive #1 - 37% Funded & Engineering for 55 V MAX Input
First things first: our campaign is over 35% funded. We want to extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who has backed us and shared our mission so far. Moving forward, this update is the first in a series detailing the specific design elements of the USB VSense. We’ll be taking an in-depth look into our design choices, the challenges we faced, and how we overcame them. In this update, we are focusing on the 55V MAX input voltage of the USB VSense. Read the full update.
We Are Go for Launch!
We are thrilled to announce that our campaign is now live on Crowd Supply! VSense is USB power, visualized. It uses eight uniquely color-coded indicators, from 5 V up to the latest 48 V, to display the negotiated USB Voltage. It comes in a study, attractive enclosure made from stacked PCBs.
