Hi ZacckOsiemo. Funny @Umesh Lokhande and I were just talking about Baremetal firmware on STM32 last night. Welcome! Hopefully we can get to know you better on Office Hours this Friday

Hi software dev here. Mostly working on embedded linux stuff during the day and playing around with rf with STM32 at night.

@32bitSaviour did you used to be an 8-bit savior?

The beaglebone black.

DDannyB Hi

techielew•5/7/24, 2:14 PM

Hey @DannyB, you said you needed some help with Yocto. We have an embedded software chat here called #coders-only-chat. If you can put your question in there or in the #middleware-and-os forum, some of our devs like @Rémi and @abhishek awasthi (buildroot) can help.

No way. Where are you located? Can you share the company? I actually work with BeagleBoard.org to find people working with their tech and create content about their projects

I am Steffen, an embedded software engineer, and completly new to Discord xD I am looking for cool projects and hope I can help here and there. Currently I am working on a side project on my own, and we will see, perhaps somebody can give me feedback as well.
Ya, so. Hello there

Can you elaborate on the type of instrumentation?

Ttechielew @BenCos18 may have experience with this

BenCos18•5/8/24, 11:15 AM

No idea on that side of things tbh
I'm more used to the mcci library and even that I'm not amazing at tbh

Ttechielew Can you elaborate on the type of instrumentation?

Navadeep•5/8/24, 7:16 PM

what type of issue do you mean?
Unalignment? Having the data in memory address equal to some multiple of the word size will help it to be aligned. Take a look at https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/structure-member-alignment-padding-and-data-packing/'

AAccur4te Digital flow meters

Navadeep•5/8/24, 7:21 PM

I sometime ago tried to work with a person to design electromagnetic flow meter. If I recall right, this was around what the design was based of https://www.analog.com/en/resources/analog-dialogue/articles/electromagnetic-flow-meters.html. Anything specific you're looking at here?

Accur4te•5/9/24, 2:33 AM

Yeah exactly electromagnetic flow meter , lemme tell you about my case . I am a fy ece engg student which at this point have a lot of knowledge about electronics and iot compared to my seniors and that’s why I want to start developing a electro magnetic flow meter as my major side project and I am looking for mentorship and how to get started in that field ( I have worked with paddle shift flow meters before )
