In the world of IoT devices, particularly in pet health monitoring systems, reliable wireless connectivity isn't just a nice-to-have—it's mission-critical. When your device needs to simultaneously stream real-time health data over Wi-Fi while maintaining BLE connections to multiple sensors, the challenge of wireless coexistence becomes

LLM features usually start life in a happy place: a handful of users, low traffic, and plenty of quota. Latency looks fine, tokens are cheap, logs are quiet. Then a product launch, a marketing campaign, or a new “Ask AI” button lands — and suddenly your once-stable service is drowning in

At Hoomanely, our vBus modular architecture isn't just about physical connectors and pin-out standards—it extends deep into how we design, document, and communicate about our systems. One of our most powerful innovations is the standardization of net names across every schematic in our entire product ecosystem. Every

Introduction Many embedded systems behave flawlessly during development. They pass unit tests, survive stress testing, and operate reliably in controlled environments. However, once deployed in the field, they occasionally stop responding without any diagnostic trace. No crash logs, no core dumps, no visible kernel panic. The device simply appears frozen.

Introduction In pet‑tech, the difference between “working” and “truly reliable” often comes down to how well your hardware understands the real world. At Hoomanely, we’ve spent months refining EverBowl’s proximity pipeline – the system that helps our smart bowl understand a dog’s face position, maintain safe distances,

Introduction Modern applications-from image similarity to RAG systems-run on fast vector search. When you embed text, audio, or images into high‑dimensional vectors, finding the closest matches becomes a problem of approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search. This is where vector databases like FAISS, Milvus, Pinecone, Weaviate, and Elasticsearch step in.

Introduction: When Supply Chains Falter, Design Excellence Prevails The global semiconductor shortage of 2021-2023 taught the industry a hard lesson: design decisions made in the schematic capture phase have far-reaching consequences that ripple through manufacturing, supply chain management, and ultimately, your ability to deliver products to customers. At Hoomanely, we&

When working with STM32 microcontrollers and external memory configurations, few things are more frustrating than STM32CubeProgrammer failing to recognize your carefully crafted external memory loader. We encountered exactly this issue—and the solution revealed fascinating insights into how STM32's toolchain parses external memory loader files. This post chronicles

Modern AI products feel personal only when they remember: that bug you were debugging yesterday, the pet profile you set up last month, the long-running coaching thread you keep coming back to. Under the hood, though, LLM inference APIs don’t remember anything. Every call is a clean slate: you

Introduction: Reimagining Manufacturing Infrastructure At Hoomanely, we've always believed that great hardware deserves equally great manufacturing infrastructure. When we developed the vBus ecosystem—our standardized communication architecture for modular System-on-Modules—we immediately recognized an extraordinary opportunity: if our products could speak a universal language, why shouldn't
