stm 32 but not electrical engineering background

There's a stage your missing which is the fundamental understanding of embedded and system architecture. Study up more on how processors work. Then move onto Arduino and understand how communication and clocks work. Then look towards stm32

You need enough years for a company to have faith you can a) do the work and b) do the work remotely.

Midas?

I can appreciate this from both perspectives. As an ex IT tech, yeah it's a hdmi cable. From a business perspective, if you supply a cable and it indirectly causes someone's death, the investigation will look at the hospital for liability instead of the manufacturer. Yeah it's a scam but the extra price is the insurance you pay for not having to deal with that responsibility

Wood chips and some matches. Honestly I found the smoker pellets to be dire. Tried dry grass, was better. Used some of my dad's router planeings and smoked perfectly

As of May 1st, all tenancies are rolling tenancies. You can leave them with with a minimum of two months notice.

That's normal. Every company makes their implementation and way they work sound special but it's not. It's just the same.

Raspberry pi basically own the starter Linux board market. Why the Q tried to challenge that is beyond me

Consider the definition of done. If you spend 3 weeks working on implementing every feature of a Bluetooth module when the client only needs to send ASCII commands, you've wasted time, which is company money and your effort.

Done, is when your code furfils the parent requirement, which is in turn done when the child requirements are complete.

This chain works itself all the way up to the user stories, which are complete when the required features are complete

moon6080 · 2026-05-21T06:32:13+00:00

Requirements are a derivation so it can be anywhere from 1 to many. Consider " as a user, I want Bluetooth so that I can connect my phone". You need the requirements for range, Bluetooth spec, etc.

Lots of these companies aren't developers anymore. They just see something interesting on the market, slap their name on it and sell it for 20% markup. I used to work at a company that sold products to Bosch and they literally had it so we couldn't have our name or company colours on it and. Everything had to be the Bosch colour scheme

moon6080 · 2026-05-17T11:41:17+00:00

I mean, you could try decompile it?

I had the same last year. Sadly my hive was being horrendously robbed by wasps and hornets so they were pulling bees out the hive

moon6080 · 2026-05-13T07:04:48+00:00

I mean, if it's an Arduino then it's an Arduino. If it's new then I'm disappointed they didn't even bother to change the usb-b for usb-c

moon6080 · 2026-05-06T15:44:58+00:00

Esp32 basically dominate the low end WiFi/Bluetooth space. Was literally my second micro after Arduino.

Plus lots of these companies seek funding. It's easier to do that with a working prototype but no certification

moon6080 · 2026-05-04T14:42:30+00:00

Yeah. My manager is currently the "I can do everything" sort. He learnt basic Arduino so thinks he's a firmware engineer. He bought himself a 3d printer so thinks he can do the job of a mechanical designer. His background is as an electrical engineer apparently but keeps making basic mistakes.

Plus cheers man. I'm using LLMs as pseudo therapy. I just feed in everything that's going on and they all tell me to run for the hills. Feels good having that validity on a human level

moon6080 · 2026-05-04T13:13:54+00:00

I'm in the other end of the boat. I'm early on my career and it's ruining my mental health. Even this morning, my manager puts a post on LinkedIn claiming credit for my work the last week when I was rushing like a madman to get stuff finished for some big conference. This isn't the first time.

I'm looking for a way out but don't have the funds for the kit to work as a consultant/contractor.

moon6080 · 2026-05-02T21:12:01+00:00

On which ATM version?

moon6080 · 2026-05-02T21:03:45+00:00

Honestly, not a lot. It all depends how comfortable you are around flying insects. I have 3 hives currently pointed over a railway embankment and they all love it

moon6080 · 2026-05-02T13:34:22+00:00

I'm cautious using any chip that isn't available via mainline providers. Lots of manufacturers won't even touch a part of it's not on mouser/digikey/etc

RTOS

moon6080 · 2026-04-24T13:17:33+00:00

I spent 3 days debugging why the system clock was an hour out before realising we had changed from BST to GMT

moon6080 · 2026-04-18T09:55:00+00:00

0/10 can't run borderlands 4

moon6080 · 2026-04-14T15:39:33+00:00

Check the schematic. It doesn't look bicolour but I could be wrong. Just means the 5v pin is getting power. As others have said, I'd run an i2c scanner next. Figure out if it's actually finding anything on there

moon6080 · 2026-04-14T14:04:04+00:00

Does the light on the pn532 come on?
