I don’t think most have this experience. Zephyr is the future.

Zephyr provides an open source implementation of all layers of the BLE stack. The radios of some devices are documented extensively, Nordic nRF5 devices are probably the best examp…

the average defense job is the exact opposite of fulfilling and meaningful

Be aware, per erratum 9, that you’ll need to include external pull-downs instead of using the internal ones

Anybody notice that the example for their shell is using the Zephyr shell subsystem? Very cool that it's using Zephyr!

anybody doing new BLE products has a 50/50 shot of using Zephyr in current year. I think the real benefit of Zephyr is that the wheel has already been invented, no need to do it yo…

the pi pico is 100% supported in Zephyr. https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/tree/main/board... Did the author not check the docs? https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/bo…

RF dongles almost always are Nordic Semiconductor parts and they use their proprietary (but open) protocol called Enhanced Shockburst. The minimum latency of BLE is 7.5ms (fastest …

Zephyr would also be well suited for something like this. Anyone aware of any projects that do something similar with Zephyr?

I am not certain that this provides a lot of benefit. Worth discussion. Feels like most engineers just copy the application circuit nowadays though. https://www.signalintegrityjour…

This is what Wirepas is doing with their mesh network. They have a DECT version coming soon

Not an unauthenticated mesh. This will be up user implementation iirc

Best option is PoE and battery back up (if they elect to pull the meter)? I guess they could also cut your cable. Or forget all of that and get a nice pup

the crustier EEs among us have been burned by downloaded symbols. It’s often better to make your own symbols and footprints unless you have a high quality source from the manufactu…

Why just accept that time passes?

If you’re into electronics and can sweep aside some crusty EE opinions, the EEvblog forums are quite fun and informative.

I warn you that much of controls is very very boring. PLCs w/ ladder logic in most places. Embedded devs have better devex than controls engineers…

I’ve watched all of the skibidi toilet episodes. It’s really the same as 2000s or 2010s gmod YouTube poop, it just managed to find a larger audience.

Juniors are hyper-online, accustomed to COVID classes etc. Maybe it is methods of training that need to shift.

Yes, this fix was mentioned in IN-142 from Nordic.
