I have a few presentations available including
Buried Treasure and Memory Maps on using the memory maps output by
Snails, Paper, and Programming on making origami snails
In Taking Apart Toys, I look inside toys to see what they can tell us about building devices. This might have been a book but it didn’t work out. This is a series that may be of interest to people getting into hardware and/or those who like to see graphic pictures of disassembled toys.
Ty the Typing Robot tracks my ongoing adventures through machine learning, computer vision, and robotics. It is a fairly in-depth series with lots of exploration and open source code.
I have a some advice posts where readers and listeners ask questions. Career and general advice:
Resilience is a Skill - Why you should finish school
I Heart My Notebook - Using an engineering notebook effectively
Shameless Self-Promotion - Suggestions for embedded systems books
More technical advice:
Weasley Clock- Exploring ideas for a embedded project
Some deeper dives into particular embedded topics:
Internationalization and Localization on embedded systems: an introduction and a deeper dive into displaying Asian languages.
The Tricky Parts of Embedded Firmware (series on the real complexity of embedded systems includes an intro, definitions, and tips on downloading firmware)
I occasionally explore random ideas as they occur to me:
How Cephalopods Are Like Embedded Systems - marine biology collides with machine learning
Creative Destruction Board - a board designed to catastrophically failed
I Like the Word Ignominious - how my career has occasionally gone off the rails and veered in to the surreal
A Book About Applied Robotics - what I'm looking for in a book about applied robotics
Seventeen Machine Learning Tools - various machine learning methods and their applications
