Nice project! Coming from computer science, I've been dabbling with electronics a bit. My path so far has been (sorry if I'm pointing the obvious):
0. computer science
1. arduino programming + very basic circuits
2. adding a few chips and talking to them through I2C/SPI: still in digital circuits territory, sending 1s and 0s
3. designing my frist PCBs with kiCAD: a huge learning step, and things start to get a bit messy (component tolerance, transmission delays ...)
4. looking at analog circuitry / alternative current / signal processing : a HUGE uncharted territory, full of promises and headaches.
This trajectory is probably quite common, and I'm sure atopile has a role to play there, when you start growing out of arduino. Making things a bit smoother, searchable, reusable, being able to learn from other people's design - what a wonderful tool it could be!
- Timot05 3y agoThanks! And glad you are making your way towards electronics. Yes, we hope for the packages.atopile.io to become a place where you can share your designs and explore what other people have built.
