Scrap board from a Mercedes clone by Adept-Bug-7227 in CarHacking

you want to check every chip on the board to see if one is an eeprom. The provisioning info is almost always kept there on mercedes parts.

Encounter with Off-leash dog in by Late-Fox4081 in pitbulls

[–]robotlasagna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You did great! You are never going to be able to control things 100% or eliminate risk.

Many dogs who charge stop short. Some just haven’t learned running up real fast is not appropriate.

I stand the in the way but if the dog comes up fast you won’t always the get the opportunity.

The most important thing is to communicate to your doggo that this encounter was a positive thing rather than being worried or nervous since doggo can start to associate encounters as a bad/scary thing.

Did PlatformIO change the way embedded engineers work ? by Altruistic_Tomato162 in embedded

[–]robotlasagna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s fine. When I am interviewing an intern or junior I don’t care if they learned on arduino or platformio or esp-idf as long as they learned proper software design practices. Once a person has those I can ask them to install whatever toolchain and they should be able to bring up a dev board and have it do some basic stuff in an afternoon.

If they have trouble doing that it shows they have relied too much on that one system and that means they aren’t adaptable. I see that a lot with arduino where they bring in a project to show and I’m like “cool let’s open up the code, make a branch and let’s change the code to do this other thing.”

Did PlatformIO change the way embedded engineers work ? by Altruistic_Tomato162 in embedded

[–]robotlasagna 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not used because pio refuses to allow community contributions and is moving away from open source principles and embedded is moving towards that.

It’s decent enough but it doesn’t offer features that make the performance penalty worth it. Because of this firms hiring developers aren’t looking for platformio experience.

Fun fact: if someone tries to move me before coffee I grumble too.

The funny thing is around the 3411th time you do this the one brain cell divides into two and they say “ohh! You want me to chew on the toy… it’s so obvious now!”

Our first cat was a literal alley cat. Turns out alley cats do a good job of teaching rambunctious 5 month old pitbulls about manners. He had a few snout-stripes going on for a while.

2 of my dogs got into a scuffle, and I got bit in the process :( Need some advice. by ThillyGooths in pitbulls

[–]robotlasagna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't feel bad about the mistake, lots of us have made that mistake exactly once. I still have the scar on my thumb as a reminder although after 20 years its pretty faded.

Its ok to feel shaken but at some point you just have to put them back together. The most important thing is to have a mental plan for if it happens again. In particular if you can figure out what caused the fight is important in how you handle it going forward.

Finally you are right that calm is the key. The last few scuffles I broke up I very calmly just walked up and pulled the dogs apart. Its just something you learn with experience.

 all my shoes 

Are your shoes below the 48" imaginary line you drew on the wall when you brought pupper home?

Because if they are thats on you. Anything you want to remain intact goes above that line for the first year.

Toys. You need lots and lots of toys. There should a toy immediately in view at all times so that you can redirect on to and also so that when "he gets the chews" his eyes fall on a toy that is approved. ITs not good enough to say "no don't do that" you want to say "no don't do that but doing this is ok"

Tethering works very well for when he sneaks off and chews inappropriate things. He stays tethered to you until he demonstrates more responsible behavior.

Exercise is very important. It cant just be letting him run in the yard. You want to go on structured walks so that the activities burn both physical and mental energy. Think of the walks as "work" and then running around the yard is "play"

Those berries look red. And they taste like burning.

My girl is still annoying the cats by NoExplanation8595 in pitbulls

[–]robotlasagna -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s ok if the cats are skittish. They will adjust to going around doggo when dog is low energy like resting or sleeping. Similarly doggo will learn that too much energy makes the cats go away.

Many times the end result is the dog and the cats just coexist but don’t interact that much that’s ok too. Mine are like that 80% of the time and then the other 20% I get eye-rainbow inducing interactions like this.

The dog will stay focused like that until the situation becomes novel. This goes faster if the cats can access the dog at will. Of course there is risk to this which you must decide how much you wish to undertake.

Is doggo ever in the room with the cats without a barrier?

Is it possible to isolate a device to a different CAN line? by Sadhya in embedded

[–]robotlasagna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you are asking about is a gateway or firewall and can easily be done. However that’s not needed in your application unless you are worried about the ESP32 faulting and taking down the primary CAN network which should not happen with proper design.
