UHi @kristof-at-embeetle if you don't mind may I know from where you've got the membrane overlay printed on Embeetle's tiny scarab? Also, which software do you use for the design
KHi @Umesh Lokhande ,
I used https://www.jrpanel.com/
They have a great online system to enter your files.
The Beetle Board is open source. You can find the files for the graphical overlay here:

BZephyr OS has become a popular choice for embedded systems due to its real-time performance, modular architecture, extensive hardware support, and built-in security features. Designed for time-sensitive applications such as industrial automation and medical devices, Zephyr ensures that tasks are executed predictably, meeting strict timing requirements.
I prefer it because of its modular design allowing developers to tailor the OS to fit specific project needs, keeping it lightweight and efficient for resource-constrained environments. Zephyr also supports a wide range of hardware architectures like ARM, RISC-V, and x86, offering flexibility for multi-platform projects. Through its use of the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) and device trees, it simplifies hardware configuration without code changes.
Also it takes security as a core feature, with integrated support for secure boot, trusted execution environments, and memory protection, making it a strong option for IoT and connected devices. Zephyr also includes cryptographic libraries and network security features, ensuring safe communication over networks.
If you would like to know more about zephyr you can check out the Zephyr Project GitHub repository and the Zephyr documentation. You can also access the Zephyr OS PDF guide for a comprehensive overview of its capabilities.

DHey guys, what do you think about the future of Open-source contributions in embedded systems. Are corporate interests slowly undermining the true spirit of open-source contributions in embedded systems? Can big companies and the open-source community ever find common ground, or are we heading toward inevitable conflict over control and innovation? @Middleware & OS and @MCU, MPU & Firmware
KFlip that round - open source has over time filled more and more of the niche. Things were far more proprietary a decade ago.
CI want to know why this question now? Has anything happened in recent times?
BI strongly believe and also weakly hope that open source software systems are and will be simply better in many metrics.
Dnot per say tho...but I hope the future of open-source contribution in embedded system should be community driven as opposed by some folks that thinks otherwise tho
TWatch what has happened/is happening/will happen with Zephyr
TLinux Foundation dues aren’t cheap at membership levels that matter
CZephyr is FOSS right? Is it becoming closed source?
MLooking at things like the Linux Kernel....
The most commits to the kernel come from corporations (Microsoft is actually one of the biggest contributors to the Kernel!).
A lot of the kernel maintainers are employed by corporations.
However, none of that stops individuals from contributing their bits to the kernel.
I see it as a positive that enterprises can commit things that improve software for their use case and as is the spirit of open-source - everybody benefits.
If an enterprise tried to block commits to an open-source project, then with the 'cancel culture' the bad PR would be bad for their bottom line and so very quickly counter-productive.

RHi Community ! Myself Mogal Roshan Baig , done Bachelors in Computer Science and Engineering currently working to enhance my skills on embedded systems , and Iam very much interested in open source projects. Any help or suggestion would be appreciated. Iam totally beginner please suggest me some new opensource projects.
Thanks.
Thanks.
MHi Mogal, nice for you to join us 
. Since you are starting out in embedded systems and want to get into open source projects, I will suggest that you look into some beginner friendly platforms like Arduino, ESP32, or STM32. They have active communities and plenty of projects to contribute to. You can explore open source repositories on GitHub related to IoT, robotics, or home automation great places to start

CHi @matthewflynn_ welcome!
I’d be happy to take a look at your code to help pinpoint the calibration issues. For the ICM-20948, you might want to check the specific register map and data sheet to ensure you're reading the right values, as it differs a bit from the MPU-6050. Could be helpful to review your Gyro calibration routine too.

Zdo you have a way to test on peek into what the hardware is doing, i.e an oscilloscope or a Logic analyser?
MHi there thank you for taking the time - I added the code to post in code review - if you neeed anything else let me know
I've been working on it further and trying to stabalise the results but to no avail.

MI'm a bit of a newby to this so I'll happily be guided - its on a raspberry pi 2, so I can ssh in and get the data this way through apython script if you think that would potentially help?
RThanks a lot for response ....
! I will checkout STM32 ,as I have STM32 kit. Do I need to search GitHub for projects or is there any section of projects in this server?
Thanks.

DHey guys, what do you think? Is the use of Proprietary software better than Open-source software in Critical systems such as those used in healthcare, aviation, or government? I'd like to know your judgments when it comes to critical systems. Let me hear your view.
@Middleware & OS @MCU, MPU & Firmware
@Middleware & OS @MCU, MPU & Firmware
ZIf it's a critical software some part of it will surely end up being proprietary and depending on how you develop some parts of it will be open source, I think this is a very wide net cast here. Keen to see what others feel
MDefine 'better'!
Do you any kind of networking? If so, they are probably using something from the BSD TCP/IP Stack - which is open source.
Do these services run on a server? If so they will probably be running Linux - which is open source.
Having worked in all of those sectors, what you may find is that they want a 'supported' version of things. That's why they want something like RedHat or Ubuntu. These are still open-source

- they just come with a support contract and a phone number that the customer can use to shout at some poor techie when something goes wrong.

UHi Roshan, Welcome! Glad to know you found today's session useful.
AHey everyone, I'm currently working on an electromagnetic flow meter project and have finished the assembly, including the electrodes and Faraday cage. Now, I’m moving on to the circuitry, but I’m facing some challenges. The signals from the electrodes are in the mV range (or smaller), so I’ll need an amplifier circuit for proper signal processing. Additionally, I’m looking for a suitable H-bridge or similar setup for controlling the electromagnets.
As a second-year undergraduate student, I don’t have enough experience to confidently move forward with the design. Could anyone recommend resources or guidance on how to approach the circuit design for these requirements?

WElon Musk has officially announced the launch of Tesla’s Optimus robot, designed to handle many of the same tasks we saw in the movie .
The price for one unit is around $20,000, which many consider to be quite affordable for American households and even internationally
What are your thoughts on its impact on automation, and would you get one?

Malmost a real life Jarvis from Iron Man tho . But jokes aside, the Optimus robot can really do tough jobs, it might change how factories and businesses work. Is Tesla using their existing neural networks for control, or did they build something new for this robot?
AWow, looks like we're one step closer to living in a sci-fi movie! With a $20,000 price tag, Optimus could be the most expensive housekeeper ever—but hey, at least it won’t complain about doing the dishes!
