I have about 5 years of professional experience, mostly in web application space as a front-end dev or varying level of SWE. I've also been a CTO/Co-Founder of a document-signing on video company. I tinker with hardware too, would like to go that route. I do not have a degree. I started to learn how to code in 2013 back in the LAMP days.

Oh yeah as far as what I've been doing the last 9 months, been working labor. I was making hardware projects but lately just working labor all the time.

Most recently I have worked on an iPhone app paired to a watch for a client.

Kind of stopped writing code for a while. Been a few months.

Going back to the basics... a ToDo app

The orange crab looks nifty. My recommendation is to start very very simple. I'm not sure how this board integrates with the tools with their DFU mode and all that, but hopefully it allows the same quick iteration as JTAG. I think the next time if any you feel like using a microcontroller, try using the FPGA instead.
jcun4128 · a year ago
Thanks. I listen to EmbeddedFM and I always hear about JTAG but have not used one. Interesting thought about subsituting an FPGA for a microcontroller. Guess you would have to know how to use one in order to do something trivial like blink/move a servo.

FPGAs were an odd experience of learning for me. I started thinking they were hard to program. Then once I got halfway decent at simple things, I realized just how powerful they can be. So many things just run faster if not instantaneously if you optimize for FPGA. It's incredible. And with modern cheapy low end boards, I hope they get more popular in projects.

It is on my list of things to learn/have one (Orange Crab). I just haven't had a specific use yet. I know they use them for video out/camera for example. One day... so many things to learn/need time.

Try alpine to slim it down?

I will check it out, I'm using headless bookworm atm

Nice work! What's the boot time like? I didn't see it in your Medium page.
jcun4128 · a year ago
It's slow haha. Faster on the Pi Zero 2 with bookworm. I think it's 20-30 seconds.

I use systemd to run main.py let me time it real quick.

Edit: I was off, it's 40 seconds when the intro animation starts playing.

This is why the camera spends most of its time in the home screen state until you're ready to take a photo which is when the live pass through plays or while recording a video (allows you to change focus/aperture while filming). That also conserves power since it has the highest current draw while recording/showing a live preview.

Breaking Taps had a video not long ago covering his efforts to design and fab his own image sensor, though it didn't work and it wouldn't have been anywhere near 1MP even if it had.

I watched that, was amazing, those kind of creators like Applied Science are on another level.
