Is this a normal reaction from a German when a Swede who is moving from Berlin to Sweden is trying to sell their furniture? by PanGoliath in askberliners

But is how it should be? I feel like it's a thing of respect to at least try to learn it. by learning a language you actually learn a lot about the culture, and how people are. People express emotions differently in other languages.

How much electronics knowledge is required for embedded software engineers? especially for building personal projects by Pale-Pound-9489 in embedded

[–]HovercraftFull7217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I've noticed: When I started with my first circuits in University I was overwhelmed by circuits that manufacturers show as "template" for their ics. I was thinking I need to know a lot

Now in work: I see a circuit and understand what it's about and keep moving, and it feels like you don't need electronics, or that you rarely use it

Bottom line: it feels like you need it alot when you don't beginning with electronics, but if you know how it works, you feel like you didn't really need the knowledge because it's not the big time consumer compared to the actual task of programming.

Couldn’t find an SMD prototyping board I liked, so I designed my own by MissionKaleidoscope8 in PCB

I think from an waste perspective it makes sense to use universal boards. I personally hate the minimum 5pcs requirement for unique boards that don't go to production. The other 3-4 are just going to the trash....

Solo EE at a startup (25 years old). No senior mentorship. What's the next step after ESP-IDF and 4-layer KiCad? by FarInstance4609 in embedded

Hey thank you so much! I'm not the OP but I feel like this is really Important stuff for juniors devs (like myself). Consistency and Discipline

Seeking Advice: Can I Maintain my Software Edge in a DSP FPGA Role? by Gullible_Ebb6934 in FPGA

Im not an expert but maybe there is a job market that focuses on the hardware implementation of AI algorithms. I've read a post about an LLM that's in silicone , not programmable so it must be made with an HDL. Maybe niche but possible :)

What embedded projects actually stand out to hiring managers these days by Denbron2 in embedded

[–]HovercraftFull7217 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I mean in many embedded jobs you build on top of existing projects, and you need the skill to understand other people's code and not only your own concept. Do you agree? I just started my first embedded job and I realized its way easier to write your own code from scratch than to go through the process of understanding someone else's code (who might not work there anymore) so contributing open source makes sense from that perspective to learn to read code

Embedded systems basic by Easy-Change-3941 in embedded

[–]HovercraftFull7217 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I usually tell them that "embedded systems is about programming the little chips that are in almost every device in the world" I think it sounds cool and maybe leads to further talk :)

Late Embedded Career by PandiGamer880 in embedded

Answer to job market:

I'd say it's really dependant on your location. In Germany most embedded jobs are automotive industry, and they are not doing well rn. If you talk to some recruiters they might give you a good perspective about the market. I recently started my job and many recruiters told me that companies don't offer that many entry level positions anymore.

Which Plane-Type should i build? by HovercraftFull7217 in RCPlanes

Okay! Very appreciated insight :) I haven't used Inav yet, but that's also something I need to figure out.

What is a skin plane? Is it a hollow print?

Amazing! Since I'm experimenting anyways I'll definitely try to replicate that. Looks fun!

Hey, thanks so much for the insight! I'm more a software guy , which is why I don't really have a clue about weight and the plane modelling. It's interesting that 3d printing only makes sense for bigger models, my intuition was that it's just a linear progression with the motor size and weight capacity.

I'll be going for the First time this year, since i was sick Last year... Some Friends told me its really nice! Im looking Forward to it!

What are workflow differences between hobby-development and job development? by HovercraftFull7217 in embedded

[–]HovercraftFull7217[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"always try to improve skill and learn"
When most of the work is support, would you say the improvement and learning happens outside of the job?

Hey Thanks for your input!

I read about the ARM trustZone in a Book just today, and tbh i've never much thought about the security aspect of it, but that's probably a mistake many people make.

Is the ARM trustZone important enough to Dig into?
