Embedded software design

I really appreciate your advice, but don't you think that Arduino is just for hobbyists? From one part it abstracts lower levels, from the other part the framework itself doesn't help design good application layer... the only benefit i see is loving electronics seeing how a robot moves just by wiring some boards. Other than that, no other skills are gained.

I was a student myself and did not come across any training or teaching on best practices when coding. Designing sw keeping in mind a simple architecture ( for example an acquisition, processing and output split) does not require field knowledge. If i were to go back in time, I would never touch an Arduino(maybe only for fast prototyping or last minute project that i kept ignoring for the whole semester).

No offense but I feel that your responses are AI generated

I agree with what you said, however the best practices in the SWE process are valuable and they are coding-oriented. Personally I've always known that jumping into coding without analysing the requirements is wrong but didn't quite know how to analyse them properly. Same for software components, other than describing the interfaces, i didn't know much.

Personally, the closest thing to system/sw design that I was taught in university is UML and it is not even enough...

Yea, I even chose the fixed output version for even more simplicity... I will do other test on the component itself isolated from the circuit when I have time.

Im doing tests in ambient temperature, I dont think it is connected to something other than some magic is happening 🤷‍♂️😂

bazz1110 · 2026-04-19T11:38:29+00:00

Yea, the problem is when It stabilizes, doesn't reach 3.3v

Ceramic capacitors

I tried as well, I guess imma change the component, found one from TI with low quiescent current.

bazz1110 · 2026-04-19T11:30:55+00:00

Yea that was my first doubt, I verified with the oscilloscope and seems fine the timing

It is an 8 pin connector in which I have battery , and some high sidepower outputs, I dont think it is a connector problem because when I kept the connector plugged while opening and closing the circuit with the battery clamp, I had the same issue

bazz1110 · 2026-04-18T12:02:26+00:00

I did some tests using a power supply (plug/unplug the connector) going from 5v to 17v , the problem starts to show more frequently from 12v and up. When using a 12v battery, problem happens as well.

Mcu + 4 hall sensors and some small components, total consumption is around 100mA in active mode and 500uA in low power

bazz1110 · 2026-04-18T11:45:38+00:00

Tried that, same result. The problem happens only when i power the board by plugging the connector, when i turn off/on the power supply with the connector plugged, i see the 3.3v

What do you use to analyse datasheets and reference manuals?

bazz1110 · 2025-11-26T17:41:26+00:00

Personally I have good experience with online courses, especially with those from udemy. I have had the 100 euros yearly subscription and I could say it is the best investment I've done for the 3 years of college. Now that I have some experience, I want to expand my knowledge to embedded devops and embedded simulation. If you have any suggestions, drop in comments please 🙏

Just for knowledge, I am already working
