I have a friend who is writing code to run on a sort of exoskeleton meant to benefit disabled people and help them walk. He has never in his life "deployed to the cloud" and wouldn't have the foggiest idea of how to do it.
- Aeolun 4y agoIt’s only a matter of time before someone realizes how helpful a GPS transmitter would be in an exoskeleton for disabled people. Now you have a cloud component.
- imwillofficial 4y agoI wouldn’t call GPS the cloud
- bavell 4y agoYeah it's way beyond that
- PeterisP 4y agoYou know that all GPS transmitters are in space, right? GPS is a unidirectional technology where GPS receivers don't (and can't) talk back to GPS satellites in any way.
- melony 4y agoIf the caretaker wants to get the coordinates back, then you have to go through a server at some point. I think GP was thinking along the lines of something like Find My iPhone, where the GPS coordinates are sent to the cloud. You will need a mobile baseband radio alongside the GPS receiver.
- Aeolun 4y agoYeah, you are right of course. I was thinking of a GPS receiver with a mobile connection to send data to a central server, and it turned into ‘GPS transmitter’ :)
- throwandpatch 4y agoThat sounds nice but how do you get into embedded if your experience are 5 years, 10 years or more in say distributed systems/cloud/web programming/etc?
- spoils19 4y agoEasy - just apply, and mention that you have experience, but also that you have a reference from this site. This site has the greatest minds in terms of embedded experience, and any company worth working for will instantly know to give your application a closer look.
