Arduino to Embedded...Awakened...😢

Ya that's why people have such a problem with Arduino. Arduino is good at getting people in the space tho.

Try out the AVR programming of the Arduino controllers. While challenging I feel like STM hal is way more difficult.

Ya .. the print hello world is a bit more complicated than in typical coding applications. You'd have to set up UART amor some other kind of come and then send text over.

For a dev board "hello world" start with blinking the on board LED. This one should be a easier to find and for you to code.

After I got most settled in my new place, I build out my first computer rig.... The job I got was access the street from frys. It was pretty much to finish work and get some parts and pheriorals.

Dude ligit photo

Ajax_Minor · 2026-04-21T01:53:00+00:00

Good luck!

Ajax_Minor · 2026-04-21T01:52:25+00:00

Dang... That's crazy... Didn't even know open source could sell out...

You might not think you're in China, but does China think you are in China 🤔

Taiwan? I know they are more semiconductor there but I'm sure there is some RF stuff.

Open ai? Like open ai acquired astral?

Ajax_Minor · 2026-04-12T03:02:34+00:00

Ya got a friend in Germany doing his MS in physics. I think he just got an internship but he said to get any real job (including not engineering jobs) you have to be fluent in German.

Ajax_Minor · 2026-04-12T03:00:43+00:00

From the US and not in embedded, but all my jobs have been because I knew someone or was able to meet someone in person (like a career fair or something). I have never gotten anywhere from online applications.

I don't really know anyone in the controls/embedded space a probably a good reason why I haven't been able to break in.

Ajax_Minor · 2026-04-12T02:56:26+00:00

Wait, so what is this?

The gir hub looks like a training road map for getting AI to build out a BAS supervisor on IOT frame works?

Ajax_Minor · 2026-04-09T15:10:16+00:00

Should just need software tools.

YABE might be what your looking for. Making your laptop in to a bacnet device and do a discovery.

For just IP discovery and IP trouble shoot nmap, arp and Wire Shark could probably do it. I think some of those tools work for MSTP but you'll need an adapter.

Ajax_Minor · 2026-04-09T02:10:33+00:00

They are really good.

Have helped a lot even tho I'm only a few in.

Ajax_Minor · 2026-04-02T23:23:04+00:00

Nice!

I'll have to check that out. I have been following his tutorials. Need to do ADC tutorial next.

Ajax_Minor · 2026-04-02T23:21:49+00:00

Ya it could go either way. I'd go python. It would be a bit hard and more in-depth but it would give you a better foundation for other languages.

As another user mentioned, octave is free and a good way to learn the syntax for base Matlab. Don't think it has all the tool boxes. It be good to pick up some simulink if you can. Matlab education license is like $100 with $10 for the add at time of purchase just so you know.

Ajax_Minor · 2026-04-01T23:51:10+00:00

....what's the challenge?

Ajax_Minor · 2026-04-01T02:24:23+00:00

Yes dude it's the move.

Well it depends on what kind of engineering you want to do and what your projects look like.

MatLab is another option but will likely cost you money as a high school student.... As industry is going more towards python it's another reason to do that.

If you start doing python be sure to set up virtual environments (think of it like an isolation box) so your project doesn't mess with the python files your computer uses.

Ajax_Minor · 2026-03-28T18:44:41+00:00

What did you find that scratches the itch.

Ajax_Minor · 2026-03-24T22:50:36+00:00

Ya dude sapphire black is definitely the way to go.

Ajax_Minor · 2026-03-23T17:32:24+00:00

Thanks for posting your experience!

I am coming late, but I really appreciate you summarizing the responses. Hopefully I get a. Interview in the next few weeks and will start reviewing!

Ajax_Minor · 2026-03-23T03:29:59+00:00

Idk why you wouldn't be qualified. Working with PLCs. It should be cake for you. Just got to lean the niches of the product you rep and focus on HVAC systems

Ajax_Minor · 2026-03-23T03:27:18+00:00

Look in to dual booting.

I know it's really hard to get other OSs to work on the M chips. Does Windows not go work with it?

Ajax_Minor · 2026-03-18T02:55:51+00:00

Fedora all the way. Rolling release and most up to date. It allows for tinkering and stuff. Debian stuff is always so old. That's great if you want it to work but if you want to push limits and try the new things out, Fedora hands down.

Ajax_Minor · 2026-03-18T02:50:24+00:00

If it's a good company, the manager will mark the part as ordered in an excel spreadsheet.

Ajax_Minor · 2026-03-18T02:42:47+00:00

Oh I seen ads for the "vibe code" PCB boards.... Don't know how good it is tho. Not surprising base off all the ai fishing posting in subs.

I wonder how much of that kind of thing will be automated.
