What this episode covers

Chris Gammell of Contextual Electronics and Dave Jones of the EEV Blog discuss the Narrative wearable camera, highlighting its low-power engineering challenges involving GPS, Wi-Fi, and battery life. They analyze the difficulty of measuring wide dynamic range currents in DC power analysis, noting that specialized equipment like the Keysight DC Power Analyzer is prohibitively expensive for general use. The conversation also covers the collapse of Theranos, the IEEE's acquisition of GlobalSpec, and practical advice for engineers regarding data sheets, jellybean components, and RF design.

    278: Bricks' Batteries Last Forever (Repeat)

    Matt Liberty, founder of Jet Perch, discusses the design and development of Joulescope, a high-precision current measurement tool launching via Kickstarter. He explains the engineering challenges of measuring dynamic ranges spanning nine orders of magnitude, from nanoamp sleep states to amp-level active currents, and how standard multimeters fail due to burden voltage and resolution limits. The conversation covers software strategies for low-power embedded design, such as managing GPIO states and clock speeds, and details the hardware innovations in Joulescope, including its auto-ranging shunt resistors and electrical isolation.

    170: Electron Gnomes

    Hosts Elecia White and Christopher White discuss the hidden complexities of embedded software engineering in preparation for Elecia's upcoming IEEE presentation on 'The Tricky Parts' of embedded systems. They cover specific technical challenges including the difficulty of debugging with limited visibility, the counterintuitive nature of power optimization (such as balancing sleep states against wake-up costs), and the pain of managing unstable SDKs and sample code from vendors like Nordic and NXP. The conversation also touches on the necessity of understanding map files for memory management and the importance of using test equipment like oscilloscopes for accurate timing analysis.

    The Spark Gap - Episode 42

    Chris Gammell, founder of parts.io, joins hosts Carl and Corey to discuss selecting the right operational amplifier for specific applications, using a 300mV DC signal and a 5nA current measurement as case studies. They also cover practical component choices like the LTC6903 programmable oscillator and the Microchip 24AA02 EEPROM with pre-burned MAC addresses. Gammell outlines parts.io's strategy to democratize access to Field Application Engineer (FAE) support by hiring an 'Internet Applications Engineer' and improving search algorithms to help small-scale designers.
