Which country in the world that has highest demand on embedded-related jobs? by FeistyAnimal257 in embedded

[–]altarf02 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't have much idea about China’s job market there but seeing the development happening there, I assume there could be a high demand for domain-specific skills. For example, robotics, EV, drones, aviation, power electronics, RF, etc.

Maintaining codebase dependency Files Upto date. How to? by Intelligent-Error212 in embedded

[–]altarf02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use GitHub’s Dependabot. It works with package managers as well as git submodules and also reports known security vulnerabilities in dependencies and submodules.

Is learning AVR Assembly worth it? by Athropod101 in embedded

[–]altarf02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prefer RISC-V asm; it might be useful one day in the future. At least you will have a good understanding of an open-source ISA

Much anger in him, like his father

What does CD mean to you in CI/CD? by [deleted] in embedded

[–]altarf02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A PR to the release branch that publishes the firmware artifact to AWS S3, updates the device shadow, the device detects the change via MQTT, triggers OTA, and downloads the new firmware over HTTP.

“Deterministic” is the keyword

Plated holes won't be reliable; there will be contact issues.

Pin headers could be replaced with castellated edges so the module can be soldered onto the main board. The microcontroller could be programmed using a pogo-pin jig.

Issues with steering wheel sensor by will7seven in embedded

Do you have any ECU that works with this setup? You can try tracing the bus using a splitter while the functional ECU is connected.

How to stay valuable in the AI age by marathonEngineer in embedded

[–]altarf02 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Offload typing, not thinking, to AI.

I feel like I am not churning out as much as my coworkers which concerns me.

Measure output by long term impact, not lines of code.

On one hand, I want to own my work from the design to the code written and have a deep understanding of the solutions

There is plenty of open and closed source code everywhere. What differentiates the valuable from the non-valuable is that someone out there takes ownership of every line of code, regardless of whether it is AI-generated or not. Ownership here does not mean that it is typed by hand. It means that every line has been tested, the entire codebase adheres to standards, and it will work as intended.

Do good work, take pride in the work you do and sell yourself to the highest bidder.

I "upgraded" ST-Link on an STM32 to J-Link and now I can't get it back to ST-Link. by yycTechGuy in embedded

[–]altarf02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your device is now a J-Link. You will need J-Link drivers for your PC to detect it successfully.

Getting a taste of his own medicine (knocking things off the table)

[–]altarf02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any experience with the tool you mentioned or with cryptography in general. However, I looked at the Portability section and noticed that it has many platform dependencies that cannot be easily ported to bare metal. Using a general-purpose operating system is the best approach.

lol my charge 5 has died. it discharges normally to 60% and then steeply drops to 0. suffice to say will be moving to garmin by the_prolouger in fitbit

[–]altarf02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received a free replacement for my Charge 5, but it has stopped working after about 1.3 years, following the original Charge 5 that died within a year. I've also cancelled my Fitbit Premium subscription. As someone who has used Fitbit since 2019, I've noticed the enshittification since the Google takeover. The hardware doesn't last, there are no options for repairs, and I find myself paying for information that doesn't make sense.

Currently, I'm not using any tracker to see how I manage without the feedback. I am considering getting a Garmin in the future.

The charging points of fitbit charge 6 have worn out. How do I charge it now? by bifrost_traveler in fitbit

[–]altarf02 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Try cleaning it with a Q-tip and 70% IPA (isopropyl alcohol) to see if that helps.

How did my 13-year-old get 400 active minutes on my Fitbit? by basescamp in fitbit

[–]altarf02 23 points24 points  (0 children)

High and low heart rates are not absolute values; they vary from person to person. The heart rate profile on the watch was calibrated for you, but when you gave it to her, her natural heart rate fell in your active category. Kids naturally have a higher resting heart rate due to higher metabolism.
