- ShockWiz was the first proper IoT product we worked on, end to end. And what a wonderful rollercoaster it was!
Taking a vision like inventor Nigel Wade's and bringing teams of people together across Mechanical, Electronics and Software domains is just the start of the challenge.
But, in our opinion, what gets these products to market and makes them successful is GRIT.
People like Nigel have the GRIT required to do all the hard stuff so the product is just seamless when you use it.
SRAM purchased the rights to ShockWiz early on in the piece, and then provided a massive amount of support and funding to take a proper polished product to market.
They understand the true attention to detail required as well as what it takes to allow those people undertaking the work to get their job done.
It was a true collaboration!
I am very grateful to have been part of it, and to still continue to do amazing, challenging and rewarding work with the wonderful people at SRAM, as well as working on some top secret, game changing stuff with Nigel!
IoT is hard... I say that A LOT... I know!
Check out my chat with Nigel regarding the fun and very intense times developing ShockWiz.
We hope you get a feel for the level of complexity involved in creating a world class consumer IoT product.
Brilliant success story, well done.
Great video, really loved the insight into this project.
Thank you!
14:12 what is draft he is referring to on the plastic parts?
Draft is an angle on the outside shape, that allows a more simplified mould. Having no draft usually means you need to have a collapsible core inside the part, which is a much more complex and expensive mould.
No draft means you can have square sides, instead of them being 3deg from square.
Is time to update the shockwiz, app need a refresh and the device is like still using a gopro 4, with new device & new app i m in.
I got me a Wiz.. Love it.....on the jumps from rollers comment; Well, you can do a roller such that you are unweighted on the down side and be basically in the air with near zero tire contact. No difference from a jump except earth is right there.
I use it on MTB, but would LOVE if it would also be for motorbikes!!!
Hey if you listen, please make a REFRESH.
calibration could be better & make a one device strap on frame for data, but wireless psi monitor to work on both shocks
20 minutes of listening to Australians talking is quite a challenge.
Thank goodness for subtitles, right?
@elementengineering instead of reading an article at thy own tempo, read an article at the tempo of two Australians talking. I see that you yourself are not afraid of unnecessary difficulties and motivate others to overcome. Very inspiring ❤️
Update the app already, firmware is too old.
We need a new device
