What this episode covers

Peter Griffin, a data analytics consultant and embedded enthusiast, discusses his work with the Jumperless Breadboard, a software-configurable prototyping tool, and his unconventional GUIs built in Excel and Google Colab. He details the technical challenges of using Microsoft's Data Streamer plugin for serial communication, specifically its failure to assert the DTR line, and shares insights on advanced Excel features like Power Query and pivot tables for hardware-in-the-loop testing. The conversation also covers his 'puppy communication buttons' project and the complexities of training dogs to use them.
