Embedded Productivity ⁽⁵⁾

You've learned Arduino and feel confident with your basic embedded skills. Now you want to upgrade yourself by learning STM32. It should be the next logical step, right? First of all, I want to say congratulations to you because you've proved yourself that you enjoy…

The fastest way to 10x your embedded learning progress is by building tons of side projects. I'd say you should aim for at least 100 side projects. Don't worry about quality, just build tons of crappy craps. Because your mission isn't to build world-class firmware,…

The simplest way to 10x your embedded learning speed: Tons of experimental projects — here’s why: Now let's delve into each one. Yes this is an important thing when learning. Learning in isolation means you learn one thing at a time. Building full-scale embedded projects, while…

Sometimes you just feel that your firmware isn't robust enough, isn't reliable enough. What if my firmware isn't handling edge cases very well? First of all, I admire your concerns, because if you really think that way, that means you have a high standard when…

I need to reimphasize this: Yes, Arduino is a toy. And by a toy, I mean Scratch-the-programming-language toy. Arduino is the Scratch of embedded world. But can you use Arduino for industrial or commercial-grade projects? The answer is also YES. Before we continue, I need…
