Discovery: Buttons
This week Andrei is writing about buttons. First a bunch of the background stuff that goes along with buttons, how the positrons scoot around and finally make it to the processor. Then he takes a look at the HAL code used to read the button position.
How hard can it be? Well sit down and get comfortable, this won't hurt a bit (we'll leave the hurting bit for next time, Bwa ha haaaaa).

The final (and complete) Narwhal's Guide to Bayes' Rule.
Also, I totally lied about there being any baseball.
Read MoreDiscovery: Code, Part 3
This week Andrei introduces the toolchains that are supported by CubeMX. Time to grab one and get it working.
Read MoreAlumni Profile: Talking Tech
The Harvey Mudd College alumni magazine has nice write up of the Embedded.fm show. They use flash in their site so I took a picture as well.
Read MoreDefinition of Mentoring
Mentoring is an oddly popular topic in our email and slack channel: What is a mentor? How do you find one or be one? Should a company provide a formal program?
Read MoreDiscovery: Code, Part 2
In this post, Andrei looks at the code generated by CubeMX. Some of it is pretty ugly, but he gives a suggestion of how to co-exist with it.
Read MoreDiscovery: Code, Part 1
In this post, Andrei discusses how to get CubeMX to generate the startup and configuration code for your ST development board.

Client server BLE
has too many roles for me.
Master, slave, peripheral,
central; naming makes me hurl!

I joined Toastmasters. The first talk new members give is an icebreaker. The goals are to introduce new members and to set a baseline for future talks.
Read MoreScheduling Code on Bare Metal
Andrei found a horrible bug in the execution scheduling code that he has been using for years. Here is an exploration of the bad code, how to fix it, and the nature of unsigned integer overflow.

Andrei is back online with an overview of ST's configuration software for their ARM processor line, Cube.
Read MoreNarwhal's Continuing Guide to Bayes' Rule
Bayes' Rule is used in machine learning, risk assessment, and forecasting. It is neat. Like narwhals. This is part two.
Read MoreDiscovery: Sample Code
This week, Andrei discusses how to acquire the sample code for the DISC1 processor board.
The trick is to download the CubeMX system from ST. We'll be using that in future examples, so follow along.
