Chaos in Embedded Systems and Creative Demos

Chris and Elecia talk about their current adventures in conference talks, play dates, and skunks. 

Elecia’s talks are available on YouTube:

• Creating Chaos and Hard Faults: An introduction to hard fault handlings, stack overflows, and debugging hard bugs

• Introduction to Embedded Systems (O'Reilly Expert Webinar): An introductions to… well, embedded systems

• These are both advertising for the 2nd edition of Elecia’s book, Making Embedded Systems: Design Patterns for Great Software. You can also find it on O’Reilly’s Learning System and probably read it with your 30 Day Trial (here). 

Chris got a handheld game console, the Playdate (play.date), and has been writing a game for it. There is an interesting looking MicroPython port for it.

We also mentioned Tiny Tapeout Demoscene which sounds pretty neat. And KiCanvas where you can see KiCAD schematics without loading KiCAD.

Our newsletter has been off but will be back to normal next week. The RSS feed is probably not fun to look at but Elecia’s Rebloginator shows some Python tools for parsing feeds. 

Neither the dog nor the skunk seem contrite.
