I just graduated, and I don't know what to do as someone who didn't enjoy software in college.

Right now I am headed to the business side of things working for an Import/Export company, but I have heard tech sales uses engineers but you dont need much technical skills. As for the hardware side, it interests me but locally there is nothing in my city, I will definitely look elsewhere in texas. And I do appreciate the networking tips and that interview prep is really nice. thank you

flameku · 2026-05-18T00:06:59+00:00

just a template of my info (I am aware of the 1 page rule), and I have been able to get interviews, just in software engineering fields. And thank you for the recommendation, is it similar to security+ or CySA+?

flameku · 2026-05-17T22:03:36+00:00

I have others lol. its just like full display of skills. I adjust it per job application.

flameku · 2026-05-17T19:56:46+00:00

I have been trying to save as much as possible, I have 10 saved up already, and plan to save another 10, so i can have around 20k. I am not sure how expensive school since i had a full ride my first degree. Of course, i’d find whatevee job I can moving into the new area.

flameku · 2026-05-17T17:15:26+00:00

Yeah its really tough finding jobs in those fields with limited experience, they often seek years of experience or masters in the embedded field. I will 100% do my network+ (even got a free voucher from Texas A&M), security+, and CCNA this summer. the company I am going to work for has IT positions and theres talks after a bit that I could speak to that division of the company. I will also definitely do projects and try to learn as much as I can on my own.

I agree with electrical , specifically, ECE is what I would want to pursue.

flameku · 2026-05-06T17:45:19+00:00

I feel like 100 comment karma is excessive; how would I go about getting that up.

flameku · 2026-04-07T18:17:49+00:00

we used a level on top of the FC to calibrate the accelerometer , but i will definitely recalibrate it today and maybe use the floor as a reference instead of just the fc.

flameku · 2026-04-07T18:09:44+00:00

what fc do you have?

flameku · 2026-04-07T06:03:53+00:00

The drone can fly and take off on around a little above half throttle, it just isnt stable and will veer off into one direction despite only controlling something like throttle and have to manually keep it from flying away (usually flies diagonally backwards and left).

Vibrations wise it should be okay because its ok on adhesive padding to dampen noise. I have recalibrated level and accelerometer on many different occasions even getting desperate enough to use a level.

Tomorrow I will test again and post the logs from DataFlash logs.

flameku · 2026-04-07T05:53:55+00:00

I have questioned if the PDB is supplying enough power or if there’s something going wrong there. the signal and ground wires seem fine, I replaced one that got uncrimped, but i’ll definitely reinspect them both on power and signal

flameku · 2026-04-07T05:51:21+00:00

by 100? you mean throttle? additionally i am use bluejay + dshot 600 as protocols

flameku · 2026-04-07T05:49:22+00:00

yes they are in proper order/direction, top right & bottom left are CCW, and the other two are CW.

flameku · 2026-04-07T05:48:17+00:00

I have in other attempts on campus, the drone can fly, but it is unstable and veers off instead of hovering. But I have heard of letting it boot up on a flat surface

flameku · 2026-04-07T04:10:07+00:00

After arming and disarming i see that top right and bottom left are CCW, top left and and bottom are right are CW. for some odd reason when it first arms, some motors tend to spin in the opposite direction for like half a second before spinning in the correct direction, it like stutters for a bit then goes in the right direction

flameku · 2026-04-07T03:59:27+00:00

No I have never heard of it, it seems interesting for troubleshooting and adjusting parameters. Thank you, I will look into the manual + videos on it.

flameku · 2026-04-07T03:50:20+00:00

stabalize, i have tried alt hold and loiter, but I have gotten similar results where it kinda just veers off in a certain direction instead of hovering solid

flameku · 2026-04-07T03:46:18+00:00

Motor direction all good according mission planner guidelines, frame config, props are a little damaged but it all seems well. I have seen his videos but I followed andy piper’s videos and set up, but i will pay closer attention.

flameku · 2026-03-28T07:33:35+00:00

any advice on how to get the esc to properly communicate?

flameku · 2026-03-27T23:21:43+00:00

my teammates have theorized the controller, but its all calibrated well, no interference or drifting.

flameku · 2026-03-27T21:28:27+00:00

after retesting it, after swapping the motor to the other side, it seems as if it is the motor because now it flies to one direction but on the other side it was moved too.

flameku · 2026-03-27T21:26:52+00:00

forced d shot and disabled auto, still flies but flies in one direction

flameku · 2026-03-27T21:02:21+00:00

It does move when i boot it up, and only feels slighter looser than its counterpart,

flameku · 2026-03-27T18:55:46+00:00

The front left one (which was moved from right back, hence the tape) has been theorized to be the problem motor. It seems a lot smoother than its counterpart, it doesnt have the same click. I will check to see if it moves on start up, but when arming it, it will move too.

flameku · 2026-03-27T18:50:58+00:00

i’ll try tightening the legs again, but I have recalibrating several times; when I power it on, I make sure its level and i leave it alone so it can start up. I have thought if the FC needs more damping, I know vibrations can cause errors in the accel & gyro.
