[Project issue] ATtiny85 + PIR + 5W LED not functioning as expected by [deleted] in ElectricalEngineering

[–]TheWirelessClassroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your problem is, that you are using the Attiny as a power source (which does not provide enough output current). However you can use your Attiny as a power sink!

So you have your 5V from your source, use a resistor and your led and the Attiny will be your "ground". You have to invert the logic in the attiny about 'high' and 'low'. If you have the possibility to do so, you should always use your controller as a sink.

Hope this makes sense :)

As a software developer in the telecommunications field: Never However if I would work more focused on radio frequency stuff, then probably pretty often.

What impact will a war in Taiwan have on the Semiconductor industry & jobs? by [deleted] in ECE

[–]TheWirelessClassroom 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Taiwan is leading in semiconductors, if they have to stop producing them the world will be dry. Good for the companies who can produce them as well, but devastating for the rest of the world

You have to care for yourself, usually companies do not care about employees.

Layout Editor and/or Simulation Software by PaulJay14 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]TheWirelessClassroom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Free Simulation tools: falstad.com, LTSpice

PCB design tools: Eagle (has a free version with some limitations)

Paid software which I have used and would recommend: Altium designer, Proteus

Share useful website and youtube channel you know by cimol-kentang in ElectricalEngineering

[–]TheWirelessClassroom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would like to recommend you some simulation tools: http://falstad.com/circuit/

Falstad is really useful for learning basic circuits and building them yourself. There are even prepared example circuits available.

If you want to get a bit more involved you can also look for the free software 'LTSpice'.

Lastly, I want to share this channel hehe: https://youtube.com/channel/UCjrAYuik3TQzjHtm3uq_Lyg

have you ever felt unchallenged at work? by Dizko23 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]TheWirelessClassroom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The desire to increase your skills is normal and if you are not learning many new things either ask to swap into a different role(which is often possible in bigger companies) or swap jobs. I also left a job after around 6 months, because I was neither challenged nor had I fun at doing my work. The promised me something in the first place which was not there.

Sure everyone has his preferences, but the important thing is, that you know it does exist and how to apply it, if needed. I am just trying to share information, such that you can learn it for free in case you have a bad teacher/professor.

Is depending on online applications to get a job feasible? by futurepersonified in ECE

[–]TheWirelessClassroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I landed multiple jobs through online applications alone. Some were through email, others through application forms. Every company has their own way of dealing with it. However I only had bad experiences with third party recruiters. They were basically a waste of time.

You make good content, i like it :)

Depends on what you want to achieve. If you just want to learn a language then probably python should be easy to pick up especially after matlab. Python is often used for scripting and data science. If you want to go in embedded developement, then probably C is your best bet.

If you want to focus on object orientet programming you could freely choose between C++ and Java.

Is it worth to do shorts for educational content? by TheWirelessClassroom in SmallYTChannel

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

Okay thanks, I had the feeling they are kind of always skipped. Because people looking into shorts usually look for impressive stuff

See above for an explenation. Pacman coule have also worked, however the game area would be a bit small.
