A practical reference for writing embedded SPI drivers for ADCs, sensors, DACs, digital potentiometers, and other ordinary peripheral chips, with datasheet reading, transaction design, register maps, timing, testing, and bring-up checks.
How std::span makes pointer-plus-length APIs easier to review, where it fits in firmware and tools, and which lifetime, bounds, DMA, and toolchain issues it still cannot protect.
A practical debugging workflow for C and C++ firmware, drivers, Linux utilities, and test tools: capture failures, replay inputs, instrument boundaries, protect timing, and verify fixes.
How to structure Qt instrument GUIs so serial, USB, TCP, and SCPI hardware failures do not freeze widgets, hide stale data, or leave operators guessing.
Ten firmware habits that make bring-up easier, expose faults earlier, and keep common embedded failures from hiding in drivers, interrupts, buffers, or timing code.
A practical comparison of free PCB design tools, with attention to workflow, libraries, manufacturing output, privacy, current free-tier constraints, and the mistakes that usually hurt first boards.
Ten C++20 features that make everyday code easier to review, harder to misuse, and more practical to maintain in real projects.
Learn the real tradeoffs behind C++ containers. Compare performance, memory usage, allocation behavior, and practical considerations for desktop software, Qt applications, Linux systems, and embedded firmware.
How to choose the right const-related C++ keyword based on the guarantee you need, with embedded-focused notes on API mutation, compile-time evaluation, startup initialization, and toolchain support.
If you are a Windows 10 user, you might have noticed that time to time and without doing anything from your side, your computer’s CPU and hard disk usage will rocket to the skies! This high CPU usage and hard…
Arduino and its related products are undoubtedly very popular among hobbyists and even professionals. One of the areas of interest with hobbyists and professionals is interfacing with many different sensors such as temperature, humidity, light, etc. The simplest method would…
STM8 Series of microcontrollers, the 8-bit series of STMicroelectronics, are cheap but powerful micros which provide a good value and performance to your simple projects. The problem is, these series are not geared toward hobby market. While there are fantastic…
