The FoxSniffer Chronicles - Chapter 1

The FoxSniffer has finally shipped, all preorders are on their way, and I can finally take moment to finish this post. This project has been almost two years in the making (and ended up about eight months behind schedule).

The latest FoxSniffer design is in stock at the time of writing and available for sale on my store.

Let’s get into the development of this project, how it works, and what took so darn long. Spoiler - this is going to be a series.

Show Your Work – Especially When It’s Wrong

I was the type that hated showing my work in math class. Who cares how I got to the answer, it’s correct isn’t it? Math always came easily to me so I’d often combine two or three steps in my head. Being told to show my work felt like an arbitrary and meaningless requirement, or maybe an accusation that I was cheating.

That’s not how I see things today. In my last post, The PicoFox Saga, I showed my process. Dumb ideas, wrong turns, and outright failures; if I left anything out it was for brevity. I did that while trying to market the PicoFox as a product. (I still am – you should buy one.)
