Awesome, thanks! This is exactly the kind of experienced take I was hoping my blog post would summon =D Re: computing M and s, does torch.quantization.quantize_qat do this or do yo…

For my application I need just the translations and Euler angles. The range of poses is mechanically constrained so I don't have to worry about gimbal lock. But yeah, my limited un…

Author here. Lots of questions about precision --- in the article I calculated 0.6mm as the standard deviation of 200ms worth of phase measurements (n=124) while the slide wasn't m…

Author here. Thanks for writing about Tinkerforge! I hadn't seen it, and it looks like it hits most of the requirements I sketched out: - inexpensive modules: $35 USB-C master per …

Author here. I agree that the Rust embedded books are a nice read, and the idea of type state programming --- taking advantage of Rust's ownership and generics system to enforce at…

First, we should be clear that this is my goofy hobby keyboard project --- if I was concerned about safety, I'd have written it in MISRA C or something =D There are many things abo…

Author here. Both my Zig code and the Rust peripheral access crate model the pins as distinct types, which I think is correct --- the pins have different memory addresses and somet…

Author here. I considered the enum "solution" but found the match on usize tuples to be clearer because it requires less code. Introducing an enum doesn't help because it neither: …

Hi friends! Keep in mind that this project was a lark that Nicki ( http://www.nickivance.com/ ) and I literally made in the back of a van for her exact use case. My article is a fu…

Thanks for trying it out, and I 100% agree with you that it's helpful to "think through all the states that the application can be in". I'd consider Sketch.systems a huge success i…

Author here. I'm compiling Rust to WASM on another project, so I can address this question. I haven't studied relative perf, so can't make any claims there. But for this applicatio…
