BITXBIT: The Right Amount of Disagreement, GlowGuards, Golioth Solutions, and more

The Right Amount of Disagreement

One of my favorite engineering processes at Golioth is our architecture design review. When building new systems, making consequential changes to existing systems, or selecting a third-party vendor, an individual on the engineering team authors an architecture design document using a predefined template.

Compared to the early days of instituting the review process, more recent architecture design documents have involved more disagreement, but also also more efficient resolution. While excess conflict can sow seeds of division, a mature engineering organization will turn differences of opinion into progress. Tackling any complex problem will involve some disagreement — for a strong team it will be the right amount.

Creating A New Form Factor For Aludel Hardware (the Lute PCB)

From The Community

In the latest episode of Potentially Genius the team at Tomorrow Lab invented “GlowGuards” - a network of color-changing sensors that can detect air quality around the room.

Using components from Digikey that connected to Golioth for data routing and RPCs. With a custom webhook, data from these sensors are orchestrated in Node RED to produce a heatmap that can detect potential air quality issues stemming from mold, pollution sources, humidity and more. Is it potentially genius? We think so!

“This is awesome! The use of a sensor and the use of a light are kind of fundamentals for designing components, but it's really when you tie that to software and logic and the form factor all that comes together, it’s useful. It’s not just a bunch of electronics anymore and a little bit of code.” - Jonathan Beri

Video Highlight

One of our first Solutions comes from our design partner Glassboard, based out of Indianapolis in the US. The IoT Power Monitoring for MicromobilitySolution includes a cellular-connected current shunt. This design is intended to measure battery currents on small vehicles. It works in both directions; measuring current being sourced to motors during motion, as well as charging currents going back into the battery.
