Hi gKarthik good to hear from you. @Navadeep might be able to recount some of his experience to set you on a path but @JohnBudweiser and I had a conversation about this a while ago and he suggested getting started with ModelSim. Then Navadeep jumped in with a free web version: https://www.makerchip.com/.
Combine this with some foundational reading and QA with the experts here and I think you have a good set of tools to get started. But please let us know if you have specific questions.
An MPU6050 from Digikey for $8 (about 640 Rs). But when I got the breakout board for it from Robu, it only cost me $1.4 (around 113 Rs). Why is there such a big difference in price?
Usually, surface-mount components like the MPU6050 are cheaper. So it's surprising that it's more expensive on Digikey.
It depends on how long the device will be on at full capacity. Literally I will say you should get another regulator of 1A, which will cover all your power requirements so that there won't be a power flunctuation in your board.
To add on, my personal favourite is https://z-lib.io/book/17737154 From a very basic A for Apple level - me as an ultra novice to this, found it graspy.

Hey everyone I am isfand I am electronics engineer and working in embedded software for 4 years now my expertise lies in microcontrollers and firmware development I have written bare metal C firmware and Iot firmware for stm32 and esp32 plus I can design digital hardware boards for IOT Currently i want to learn more and grow from intermediate level to expert
Hello everyone my name is Michael Peter. I am a remote software engineer and AI enthusiast. I do coding and teach coding. I believe in mutual growth and helping others. I am here to learn, and render help within the limits of my collaborative powers.
The breakout you're seeing definitely is having a clone. * *coughs** You know where they come from.
And also to note is the volume price. At 1K units, the price easily cuts to about half and if recurring volume purchase is promised, the vendor will be happy to give you a special price - not shown in digikey. So the breakout board manufacturer would have made volume purchase (multiple tape/reels) to make their offering competitive in the market.
I've heard this interesting thing that all these >45nm process chips cost about 0.1$ per die in volume fab. Whatever the complexity is. Rest some for packaging and a huge margin $$$
Hi everyone, I want to ask you about lipo batteries and lithium battery what's the difference between them and wich one I use, for my flight, thank you
Hi! if you are looking for the highest voltage under load (punch or top speed) then choose a LiPo. If you are looking for the highest capacity for the weight (energy density), choose Li-ion. If safety is a big concern, then choose Li-ion.
Good day @aymen ammari , you know we attimes interchange these terms ; LiPo batteries (Lithium Polymer) and lithium batteries . LiPo batteries are actually a type of lithium battery. So for your flight, consider lookups like energy density, weight, and discharge rates. LiPo batteries are common in RC flights because of their high discharge rates.

So, I have a problem with connecting my Trust Webcam via an OTG hub to my Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. When I connect the webcam to the hub, it shows up, but I can't use it. However, when I connect the webcam directly to the Raspberry Pi using just a normal OTG cable, then it works fine. Does anyone have an idea on how to still use the webcam through the OTG hub? Because I also want to connect my 3D printer at the same time!
trying to learn. There's a HUGE shift from traditional media to more community oriented connection. I want to see how that works. My expertise is mostly in embedded s/w. Others on the team know the h/w side of things.
