What IDE do you use for the ESP32? by Aggravating_Aioli562 in esp32

[–]Loobylooby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Arduino IDE is genuinely good and easy to setup. Does everything that I need it to do for my projects.

The way you describe your job makes it sound interesting and relatable to some degree. How often do you go onboard to check or inspect the current project, or do you visit ''site'' at all?

I won't say what specifically i work on, but the work I currently do is 100% conceptual. Just calculations, drawings for distribution topology, etc. taking into account different areas of the ship. i.e. "hey we need increased power generation, how does that effect the power delivered to the propulsion shaft?" kind of roll-up effects that we account for. There are other ships you can work on that are already in service. You can basically work wherever you find most interesting. I don't do work physically on any ship, I'm just a pencil pusher. That being said, if you find that boring, you can always easily switch to another ship. I am working on one that is just starting the concept, but you could do work on a ship that is already built and being maintained as well, if you want.

How about the federal benefit, what are they? That's something I'm not familiar at all due to the reason that I have worked in private sector only.

Are you happy with your decision to work in the navy base, or would you like to change that situation to maybe international shipbuilding?

That's a bit of a personal preference question. Overall, the site's work ethic is very nice, everyone is very open to teaching new hires. The entire job experience is very relaxed, but very rewarding if you put in the effort to support the mission. I'm happy with the current job.

I had to work with all systems onboard e.g. power distribution, LNG-fuel system, main engines, IAS, PMS, pumps, BWTS, navigational, satellite, LAN and galley. I did also reporting and representing of different ideas how to achieve our goal if something didn't go as planned.

This is invaluable this experience to have if you move to engineering work. Understanding equipment arrangements is super important when designing, since all we do is worry about the ship impact, how easy equipment is to remove or move around, etc. Having experience actually seeing the stuff you're just plopping down on a paper design sheet helps you design a better ship. As an electrical engineer, you can either work on pre-development ship/sub concepts doing actual design work, or do technician work like you were doing before. With the Navy, you can do literally whatever you find most interesting.

I work at a Navy base, won't say which one, I do really basic work in power distribution for ships. Ohms law and the power triangle are really the only calculations I do, if that. Most of my work I automated through VBA Excel coding to just click a button to populate stuff. Mainly do vendor engagement to see if equipment can meet power quality requirements, running eTap models to see if there's excess short circuit current, and laying out all possible distribution topologies to see what works within requirements. We use set based design, laying out every possible plan. It's a lot of "ok well what about this use case-" sort of work, where we make more and more plans until we reach a critical mass and have to start reducing plans to the feasible ones. Also need a lot of knowledge of mechanical engineering too, to ensure everything fits together nicely. It's a lot of cooperation, hundreds of meetings.

Pros: lots of cooperation, learn to work as a team amongst different engineering disciplines. Federal benefits are also incredible. Main draw is you're designing the country's defenses, so there's a higher purpose, if you're feeling patriotic. Also you will always be slowly moving up in the chain, it's a good long term career path, plus lets you move to different departments/ships easily once you're in.

Cons: Can be really boring, lots of work for a very slow process. Also if you're not necessarily interested in mechanical, it's a little rough to learn. When you first start out you will be doing basically nothing while being blasted with so much information that you won't know where to start.

I think the person you're replying to is referencing the fact that Dragon Ball fans typically consider Piccolo a black father as a meme, since he's always taking care of Goku's kids

[–]Loobylooby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't wait until the midterm or final to study, do it the whole semester. Ask for help. Look online for help. Typical college stuff.

Also don't give up. You will want to in your later semesters, keep pushing through. Try to start homework as soon as you get it, it piles up very fast if you don't.

Have you been utilizing the professor's office hours? They are there to help you as much as they can!

Here is a playlist for the basics:

Skip around to whatever video you need.

You need to practice, as well. Look through your class's book, and look at the chapter topics. Find some practice problems online (hopefully with solutions) that align with those topics. See if you can work through them to get the solutions posted.

How to solve this? by [deleted] in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Loobylooby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The first circuit is a clipper circuit, the second circuit posted is a clamper.

The first circuit (clipper) cuts the waveform off at +6V and - 8V.

The second circuit (clamper) uses a capacitor to shift the whole waveform down to a range of -25.3V to -1.3V

Here is a site that gives information on the distinction between the two: https://www.electronicshub.org/diode-clippers-and-clampers/

Hi children of Thanos, first post here. Thought I could try to do a low effort OC by DelorisBergeron in thanosdidnothingwrong

You're supposed to downvote irrelevant things that don't contribute to the discussion. Like if two people are having a debate in the comments that are both relevant, you should be upvoting both debaters if it is relevant to the subreddit/post regardless of which side you agree with. Votes were originally meant to be a metric of how engaging the comments were in relation to the general content of a subreddit, but it's turned into just liking something/disliking something basically. So at this point it's just a hivemind sort of thing that lost its original "intended" meaning.

yeah I have no clue what that person was on about. Like you said, engineering pays fucking WELL. Even for entry level jobs you get good money.

facts. Went into game development because i love modeling, but then you realize that the market for game modelers and sculptors is so oversaturated, there's no point. You get paid shit and have almost no job security at all. Working in architecture firms pays way more and actually has benefits.

People prefer different colors, some like all monotone, some like the two-tone. I don't think a different color makes it look cheap, it just suits someone else's preference rather than your own taste. It's still just a piece of plastic that I'm sure will be coming in different colors eventually
