Hey guys,
A sceptic crowd here, and that is how it should be. It is definitely on our end to prove our solution, and we are doing everything we can to do so.
So we are still working on the prototype, which we stated. We are testing different chips and testing out different hardware. That is why we are yet to go into specifics in terms of the hardware.
I hear your concerns in regard to safety to you and your phone and CAT 3. Let me put it like this, it is not a question IF it will be safe or not. Voltset will be CAT 2 and CAT 3. We will design it to be. If it is not now, it will be, no matter the cost to us.
Fuses? yes, we have fuses. The reason we went with resetable fuses, is that you can get them to work with up to 600 volt. We have to test it out in regard to our solution, to make sure it works. If not, we incorporate another solution. No matter the cost for us to get there.
Isolation? Yes, it has to be 100% safe to plug into your phone. No matter the cost for us to get there.
Keep in mind we are running a crowdfunding campaign for the idea and concept of a smartphone integrated multimeter. While a lot of other campaigns have the full design ready, and just use crowdfunding as a shop to market and launch their fully working product, we put our project out there, while we are still working on the solution, to get feedback for the design and make sure we make it right. We are not a company that has tons of resources to make everything right on the get go. We are starting from scratch, bootstrapping, working day and night to get this thing out there.
of course we cannot compete with Fluke, and we are not trying to either. We are trying to create a community around a new way of doing things, and we do not try to claim that our thing is better than a fluke, or a replacement for a 10 dollar meter. We see the main value being in the design and software of voltset, enabling a collaborative platform to work with your measurements.
We are still have quite a few things to test out and work with before we can put the specifications out for you to judge and compare, but hardware takes time, especially when bootstrapping.
