Firmware, controllers, devices
Embedded systems
Electronics that run a defined job: sense, control, display, or talk to the rest of the system.
Problems this covers
- A product idea needs a real device, not a breadboard forever.
- Existing electronics need firmware that is stable and updateable.
- The device has to talk to software, not sit isolated.
What can be built
- Microcontroller-based products
- Firmware for ESP32, STM32, and similar controllers
- Raspberry Pi class devices when a full computer is the right fit
- Display-based instruments
- Custom embedded controllers
- Device monitoring at the edge
Systems involved
- Microcontrollers
- Firmware
- On-device I/O
- Local storage
- Over-the-air update paths
Example applications
- A controller that reads sensors and drives outputs
- A handheld or panel device with a display
- A product built around ESP32 or STM32
