Creativity

Yesterday I had an interesting conversation about working in embedded systems with someone who’s not an engineer, turns out I’ll speak to her college sociology class about creativity, how to loose it and how to keep it. Engineering is a creative career, don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. I could

Article notice: Improving the transient immunity of your microcontroller-based embedded design

A couple of colleagues from Freescale Semiconductor published an article on designing MCU systems for improved transient and EMC performance.

Tiny animals live in my desk (and they feed on copper)

There are some tiny animals living in my desk, they live on a PCB blank and they feed on copper. They have been slowly etching away a circuit whilst eating…I suspect the panda is their leader and the duck is his bodyguard.   I just hope they don’t learn to program and/or hack into my [...]

I’ve been thinking about this for a while. I have never built a robot. I’m an EE, I know about motor control, I have made or controlled parts that robots use, but I have never in my life built a robot. I am about to turn 30 and I have not built a robot, and [...]
