Hi all! I'm a software/hardware engineer at Yard Stick and am happy to talk more about what we've been working on if anyone has any questions.

I agree that we need to cut back our current emissions. Even if we stopped emitting all greenhouses gasses tomorrow, the global temperature would continue to rise for decades befor…

I don't believe that hardware constraints have anything to do with code quality. Running your code on a microcontroller will require your algorithms to run in a smaller RAM footpri…

Thank you very much! I'd love to hear about what you come up with for recipe management.

Thank you for the kind words! I will echo slig and say that I have been really happy with the Rigol DS1054Z so far. I love that you can build a really capable electronics lab at ho…

This is exactly what I was looking for; I had only checked the String and &str documentation and didn't think to look for a macro. Thanks :)

I go through this cycle every 6 months or so where I will get excited about Rust and try it out for embedded development again. Typically in the first day, I get frustrated with so…

If anyone is interested in using Single Transferable Vote for unofficial uses, I recently wrote an implementation in Elixir and wrapped it in a small JSON API. It is a toy in its c…

Arduino. I went to school for Electrical Engineering and learned programming for small embedded computers using assembly. While assembly can be fun as an optimization puzzle, it ta…

This is a great idea! I did something similar which stripped the text out of my tex resume, but I like the idea of writing it in the intermediate format and then converting to what…

The title here is slightly misleading- this isn't how LEDs are made, it is how LED dies are packaged. The more difficult part of all of this is creating the dies themselves, which …

The Nest Protect adds several hardware components that a traditional smoke detector doesn't have, including an ambient light sensor, a distance/motion sensor, a multicolor LED, and…
