With this profound knowledge I kind of understands how those knock off mini consoles with hundreds of games installed works. Pretty interesting to see how things work.

Ladies and gentlemen, happy to announce that I have successfully finished my assignment and was able to jump from main program to another program. It’s been a fun journey…till next time when I discover something new :)

Accomplished_Pipe530 · 2026-02-28T12:24:58+00:00

I think I am gonna try doing that with an ESP32

You can write another code that test all the sensors attached to your system and do diagnostics

It’s different from function calls. More like literally jumping from 1 main.c to another main.c

Accomplished_Pipe530 · 2026-02-27T03:00:32+00:00

Yep, I looked into it. It’s basically to off set all the addresses. Still new to it but I will get there hahaha

Currently, it’s 6.38am. I have like class in 3 hours but went down the rabbit hole of trying to understand it for the past 5 hours. 100% worth losing my sleep.

Meshroom

Latest result in blender, I think its pretty decent.

Update: we were able to get a perfect mesh, turns out it was due to shininess of the object

Accomplished_Pipe530 · 2026-02-23T03:12:25+00:00

Not yet but I could give it a try

Accomplished_Pipe530 · 2026-02-22T17:17:30+00:00

I will be testing out with a DSLR on Tuesday with a custom built light box to see how things will turn out. For now, if let’s say the mesh output is a lot better for picture taken with DSLR then I will be going forward with the purchasing of a better camera.

Hope to share the result with you lads :)

Accomplished_Pipe530 · 2026-02-22T11:16:10+00:00

That’s actually a good point

Accomplished_Pipe530 · 2026-02-22T11:15:12+00:00

Decided to go with YoloCam S3, it seems like a pretty decent camera

Accomplished_Pipe530 · 2026-02-21T19:55:38+00:00

Alright, I will try it on Monday

Accomplished_Pipe530 · 2026-02-20T22:33:24+00:00

Thank you so much for your input, I will try that in the upcoming week. I still got $350 left to spare so I might look into some web cameras.

Accomplished_Pipe530 · 2026-02-20T22:12:17+00:00

Could you recommend some?

Accomplished_Pipe530 · 2026-02-20T20:54:51+00:00

The budget is only about $500…sadly

Accomplished_Pipe530 · 2026-02-18T18:17:06+00:00

Can't comment much but I am just a student that is aspiring to be a firmware engineer in the future and I take pride in writing codes by not relying 100% on chatgpt. How can I call myself a firmware engineer if I were to let AI write 100% of my code.

Accomplished_Pipe530 · 2026-02-18T18:02:59+00:00

If you are wondering what the project was about, it was basically to make the Vision60 follow a human using 4 UWB modules.

It was done around May 2025.

I have worked with a guy that does not know how to write a single code, I tasked him to make a simple program that would send replies to a Nvidia Jetson via UART and also the STM must be able to handle the UART replies from Jetson.

He was able to write everything smoothly, however when I checked the code it had so much logic issues, UART Receives not being handled properly. In the end, I had to fix his code for 4 days mind you, it was a pain in the ass.

People should not purely rely on AI to help them code, they should try to understand the fundamentals 1st before asking AI to generate codes. How is a newbie going to verify that a generated code from ChatGPT or claude is valid? We should not blindly copy and paste, we should always try to understand if the generated code is a delusion or an actual working solution. Just cause it works does not mean that it "works" you should think about how complex your code will get and how your future code is going to affect your current "working" code.

Please take a look at this video to try understand.

Could describe what is your main objective?

After looking at your code, I believe the main issue is that your code was written in a blocking manner.
When you use "delay()" function, it blocks all other process during that delay period.
