As a strictly software person who's been living in the embedded world for a while, developing adequate soldering skills will make your life hella easier. Lots of setup/debugging problems get easier if you can just make the connectors you need or stick a lead in just the right spot.
Being self-reliant for stuff like that is basic productivity stuff.
- jrib 4y agoany good resources you recommend to someone who is a software person not living in embedded world?
- eschneider 4y agoAs a few people have mentioned, YouTube is a treasure trove of instructions on how to use test equipment like multimeters/oscilloscopes/etc. to see if stuff's alive and responsive. Ins and outs of JTAG is also handy and practical. If you want to go deeper, intro books on electronic circuits and some of the online MIT electronics classes are great.
