Dear Wave Watchers,

It’s been a while since our last update and we hope you are all doing well. Today, with immense excitement, we are thrilled to share the news you’ve all been waiting for:

Your AnyShake units have officially set sail and are on a cargo ship heading to the United States!

This shipment is on its way to Crowd Supply’s warehouse at Mouser. Once the inventory is received and processed, the Mouser team will begin shipping out individual orders to all of you.

Wishing them smooth sailing.

Update Log: Shipping, Review & Outlook

With your packages now making their way across the ocean, we want to walk you through what comes next.

We’ve broken it down into three simple parts: something you need to do now, a peek at what we’ve been busy with, and a look at the exciting road ahead.

1. Please Double-Check Your Shipping Address

This is the single most important step. To ensure a smooth and successful delivery, we urge you to log in to your Crowd Supply account and confirm that your shipping address is correct and up-to-date. If you need to make any changes, please do so as soon as possible. This is key to getting your package delivered without a hitch!

2. What We’ve Been Doing These Past Few Months?

Since our last communication, our team has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to turn the promise of AnyShake into a reality. The journey from prototype to a fully-realized, shippable product has been intense. Here’s a quick look at what we’ve accomplished:

• Hardware and Software Refinements: Before hitting ‘go’ on mass production, we dedicated significant time to final optimizations to push AnyShake’s capabilities even further.

  • On the hardware side: We've optimized the detector channel and signal conditioning circuits to ensure greater stability and more reliable measurements. Furthermore, we've upgraded the accelerometer from the LSM6DS3 to the LSM6DSR, significantly reducing noise and allowing for higher precision data capture.
  • On the software side: We've packed the firmware with powerful new capabilities. Your AnyShake can now use its onboard GNSS module to function as a Stratum 1 NTP time source, providing precise time synchronization to other devices on your local network. We've also added other practical features, such as an integrated free tunneling service for easy remote access from outside your NAT, and a configuration migration function to simplify backing up and transferring your settings.

• Mass Production & Quality Control: We completed the first mass production run and implemented a rigorous Quality Control process. Every single unit was subjected to multiple rounds of functional tests to ensure the device you receive is stable and reliable.

• Achieving Global Certifications: To ensure AnyShake meets international standards for safety and electronics, we have successfully completed CE, UKCA, and FCC certifications. This was a complex but essential process which officially clears your device for use. We are pleased to share some snapshots of our official certificates with you below.

• Packaging Design & Production: We meticulously designed and produced the product packaging, not only to provide robust protection during its long journey, but also to give you a great unboxing experience.

• A Personal Thank You in Every Box: Your support made this project possible, so we wanted to add a personal touch to show our gratitude. Tucked inside every AnyShake package, you’ll find a special envelope containing:

  • A thank you card, hand-signed by our team members
  • A card sharing the core philosophy behind AnyShake
  • A fun sticker of our AnyShake mascot!
  • An essential Safety Information Card
  • A Quick Start Guide to get you up and running in no time.

We can't wait to get it into your hands.

• International Logistics: We navigated the complexities of international logistics and customs documentation to ensure a smooth transit for our cargo across the ocean.

Every stage presented its own challenges, but seeing the pallets of AnyShake being loaded onto the ship—knowing each box contained a product we are proud of and a personal thank you—made every ounce of effort worthwhile.
