362: Permutations of Underscores

Embedded.fm · 18 Feb 2021 · 1h 18m · Episode 362

What this episode covers

Elecia White and Christopher White discuss Christopher's experience using Python and the `ctypes` library to interface with hardware via a CAN bus, highlighting the challenges of parsing split-bit fields. They analyze the Raspberry Pi Pico's programmable I/O features and debate the trade-offs between Arduino, Mbed, and bare-metal ecosystems regarding developer lock-in. The conversation concludes with advice on managing remote work, distinguishing between self-care and self-soothing, and strategies for knowing when to stop coding to avoid technical debt.

    Why isn't this working?

    Chris Gammell, founder of Contextual Electronics, explains his transition from hardware consulting to learning embedded firmware to stabilize his income. He details his personal project involving an STM32F030 and a 433MHz transmitter, highlighting the steep learning curve of moving from Arduino to bare-metal C development. Gammell and guests Elecia White and Dave Jones discuss the importance of hiring tutors, using build logs for debugging, and the specific frustrations of dealing with obscure Chinese components and complex microcontroller peripherals like SPI displays and I2S audio.

    Rubber Duck Incarnate

    Dave Jones and Chris Gammell discuss the recent public falling out between SparkFun and Adafruit, which resulted in Adafruit losing the right to resell the Teensy microcontroller board designed by Paul Stoffregen. They analyze the technical implications of the Teensy's proprietary NDA-protected bootloader and explore how the RP2350 chip's Programmable IO (PIO) state machines offer a versatile alternative for custom hardware. The conversation also covers Chris's use of the Zephyr RTOS for embedded development, AI-assisted coding tools, and portable debugging via terminal apps on mobile devices.
