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.

UHi Roshan, may I know which stm32 kit you use I mean Nucleo or Discovery board? Will be happy to point you to the right resources. Feel free to check out the event section. Every week several activities are happening (here) with great learning opportunities. Best wishes!

UHi @Roshan Baig Mogal Great, these days in Engineering Hour covers wide topics like FreeRTOS, CMSIS-RTOS, etc. with STM32F4 Nucleo. Also, for beginners getting-started type videos incl. basic, adc, pwm, uart etc. I suggest to check the playlist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnwE9EfFpls. Cheers!

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

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!

Tanyone here who's been working in the industry for years?
Ti just wanted to know where is embedded heading to?
Tlow power, linux, AI
MDoes 30 years in the industry count?
The only thing one can say with certainty is: Smaller, Faster, Cheaper
There will always be a split between Bare Metal, RTOS & Linux - mainly because these fill difference niches. There will just be more of all three.
My only guess is that the AI bubble will burst. At the moment, you just slap an 'AI' label on it and then go raise some investment. This is something I have seen too many times with DotCom, Web2.0, etc, etc.
They all burst - leaving the things that actually had purpose space to grow properly.
LLMs are good for helping, but they don't understand.
There is a lot of good AI/ML out there, but is in far more specific areas not general level intelligence.
When I was researching AI in 1992, full AI was always '20 years away'. 30 years later, it is still '20 years away'! Saying that, the advances are coming through far more rapidly now.
As embedded gets more powerful, then yes, there will be a lot more 'AI' at the edge as there has always been a flow of technology down to the smaller devices. I remember when having a network stack on a hand-held device was exciting!

TI’m curious how much the Musk Optimus robots “understand” at this point. You’d think they would have to at least to some extent to perform as advertised.
UThese days I see embedded devices in two forms, low-power battery operated devices used widely in IoT. And other category is power-hungry devices, capable of running n training AI algo. and require huge compute. Now as future is AI, with embedded devices surely become more expensive in terms of power consumption. Because energy is not yet cheap at many geo. But, I agree and enjoy reading news and learning associated cost in the market for operation and deployment. By the way it's possible to run small logic (pre-trained model) in the form of rules to perform at the edge for battery-operated embedded devices. Now you can called it as AI or not is very subjective. Happy to hear from others perspective.

MTo me ‘understanding’ would be teaching it to iron a pair of trousers and then giving it a shirt. How can it cope with inferred knowledge.
TDoes inferred knowledge like this require a level of unsupervised learning? I guess it would have to... which is also the great fear when you have an army of robot slaves all around us.

AI have a tds sensor in the data sheet that reads from 1000-0 PPM, but there is a project on the market that has the same sensor attached to it, which is the tds meter v1, that reads up to 10,000. How did it manage to do that? Can anyone help me?
TAre you sure it’s the same sensor? Did you double check the sensor datasheet (not a wiki) and also double check the product is in fact using the same sensor and only that sensor?
