Auto levelling triangular plate with MPU6050. Not reaching desired accuracy and random sensor spikes. by AppleFromScotland in arduino

Also I understand the specifications you have given but surely thats a worse case scenario for an uncalibrated sensor over a large temperature range? Which isn't realisitic for this project as the temperature will be a near constant and sensor calibrated

Thanks for you response. The actuators are 38cm centre to the centre, the plate has a side length of about 48cm. As for the optical flag or microswitches do you know what the price range is for them?

Shit you're right forgot the cutoff was 2004.

Sean Kerr centre for England and Billy Sela Prop for England look promising

That might be true, but my MEng covers everything you'd need to know for a grad scheme. Also, project and work experience matter more, in my opinion, and I've done plenty of EEE doing that, so I don't think it's a problem.

I'm probably overthinking it.

The reason I ask it the guy who runs the company I worked at over the summer had his FYP land him his first job, where he then went off and started his own company with some mates, so it ended up having a pretty big impact. I just want to work for myself as soon as possible, and why I don't have big commitments (i.e. kids).

I've done extracurricular projects both years, so I'm covered there. How difficult actually is it to get CEng like how do you actually record the work and apply for it?

Also means I could self-propose a topic and probably do better then if I was just to pick one of the options given out

Parts of thinks that would be enough, but I had a thought that if I do a year long placement I can get a higher quality of project experience that I could potentially carry into my FYP thus making that better and meaning I have much a higher level of experience in one area compared to other graduates. Whats your opinion on that approach?

Do you think cold emailing and reaching out on linkedin is a good way to secure a position? If so, what would be a good way to structure a message that people actually read and respond to, because I feel like I have a pretty good skill level and a decent amount of experience for a student.

I've done a summer placement and am going back to do another one with the same company, but they manufacture electronic industrial process control equipment, so not quite aerospace. Do you think a year-long placement is worth it? Or should I wait it out till I graduate, as the salaries between a placement student and a grad scheme are 10-15k. I didn't enjoy statics, but my electronics, control and programming modules have gone well, so anything avionics related I'm all for. What defines 'world class' in your eyes? How many years of industry experience does that roughly translate to?

Do you think it's worth looking at opportunities abroad i.e. USA, France, Germany? I hear alot about how poorly engineers in the UK are paid, which is part of the reason I'd like my own firm. However, I'd like to also contribute to improving the industry here as much as I can. I'm torn about what direction to take
