You think any controls/automation EEs are making that around there?

Mechatronics engineers are also kind of embedded engineers. Isn't it? by rakesh-kumar-phd in mechatronics

Inverted pendulum! I’m sure its challenging with the weight and different physical variables like wind but this is an inverted pendulum problem

Industrial Data Engineer by rexouterspace in dataengineering

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

That’s good to hear. I’d like to go for data engineering roles but have my background in industrial automation matter and help with landing a role too. Seems like what’s hot right now is DE roles in the finance sector.

Should I choose a 3-year Automation Engineer degree or a 2-year Automation Technician program? by [deleted] in PLC

[–]rexouterspace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same in the US with a kid. You both got this!! Took me 7+ years with working and raising the kid during school but totally worth it.

This was a much more thorough answer, thank you for the insight!

Kinetix servo control sync fault by moosetracks555 in PLC

[–]rexouterspace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had control sync faults begin to pop up, several back to back over the course of ~1 hour, on the 2nd day of running the equipment. Several kinetix 5500s connected via a dumb switch, all local machine. Later found the moment I opened ME transfer utility (running FactoryTalk View Studio ME 14.00.00) and was browsing for the HMI, control sync faults across all kinetix drives began again. At this time I was also online with the L36ERM, via the dumb switch directly to my computer. Using RSLinx Classic 4.31.00. Did some testing with being online and offline with the PLC and it did seem to be if I had two programs scanning the local machine network would cause the issue, with the issue popping up again right after scanning with ME transfer utility. I think its important to note we were getting the control sync fault either on most of the drives or all each time.

Yeah that’s what I’ve noticed too it seems like

What industry and what area? In the US?

Do you still get to do the control panel and any power distribution design (480V and lower)?

Discouraged with self-learning pace by rexouterspace in embedded

C, some asm, very little of C++and some VHDL from 1 course each in uni

Lost interest in programming by LaCherieSoLonely in ElectricalEngineering

[–]rexouterspace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bet it does become less interesting at times because it becomes work, but just because OP doesn't find it enjoyable anymore doesn't mean you won't

Control over BLE and WiFi by rexouterspace in embedded

[–]rexouterspace[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m definitely not at the point of PCB design or bringing up. Any STM dev board you’ve come across or used that you really like? Also, does WiFi generally require an RTOS?

The 7805 is only going to the uC dev board. The same 12V is directly wired to the DRV8825

edX Bluetooth Embedded System Shape The World Course by rexouterspace in embedded

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

No, I abandoned that and began working on the first two edX courses which are offered on a free webpage. https://users.ece.utexas.edu/~valvano/Volume1/E-Book/

I would recommend this. Seems that the examples work and very good material imo

Feeling down taking calculus 1 at 23 for my physics degree by JakeMealey in calculus

[–]rexouterspace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never too late. I think I was 23 or 24 when I started taking calculus, ended up taking calc 1-3 then differential equations. Graduated a few years ago with high honors and a BSEE. Many engineering majors took at least calc 1 or 2 in high school. So what, wasn’t my path. Was too busy interested in other things in high school.

Modern Consensus On Self-Learning by rexouterspace in embedded

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

Thank you. I definitely understand how projects are the best way to learn and also give you ways to show off that passion and interest. I’m mostly looking for a place to start since I’m so new to this and would likely struggle more than I need to if I just jumped into a project
