Freedom Pop, ugh my experience with them has been one of bait and switch. I bought a hotspot from them and I ended up canceling a couple of months after that due to unauthorized charges and suspicious account upgrades. To add insult to inj

Can anyone comment as to why they'd go for a cortex M3? @120Mhz it seems like overkill for the function of this device. I know it's pretty cheap but it could have made even cheaper with a less capable micro.

Thanks for the feedback. We are a small team (3 embedded sw developers) and I am more or less the guy with actually production releases under my belt. I feel my approach has been very measured and very polite to the point where I feel lik

I have an interesting problem. A co-worker of mine appears extremely sensitive to his code being reviewed and I honestly don't know how to deal with it. He feels attacked (and becomes defensive during code reviews) because the reviewer

I feel the same way. I went to read the post expecting a lot more than what I found and came away feeling both more knowledgeable than I thought I was and more ignorant for not knowing that I could get away with calling what a saw a "V

My hat is off to Spire. I interviewed with them but for several reasons did not do well during the interview. Regardless they were very cordial and understanding. If you are into embedded check out these guys!

I am conflicted by this. On the one hand the EE in me is excited to see how technology is making our lives easier by allowing us to spend less time on mundane tasks. On the other hand I have this nagging feeling about all this e-waste. I th

This is slightly off topic. However maybe someone on this thread can point me in the right direction. Can anyone recommend some good resources to get started writing low-level drivers for windows (books or open source examples)? I work mos

As a new parent I quickly learned that kids emulate what they see (and they seem to pay more attention that we give them credit for) In an effort to prove this out my wife and I got library cards and started reading books during my daught

I agree with you. I think structs help readability specially we using function pointers within structures. Would it be out of line to suggest a new naming convention for struct typedefs and pointer typedefs i.e _t for typedegs and _tp for

That's where I see the issues crop up. "Uncontrolled shutdowns" seem to be a killer of SD cards for me even when using R/O only filesystems. Wouldn't this be enough of a factor to point the issue towards software a
