This is the project I’m working on: CyberLevel. A gyro digital level for Steadicam. video

Haha! I feel you. Luckily my project only involves about 20 pixels on a high density strip (332pixels/m) to be used as a small 1D display.

I’m dealing with this right now. Making the largest embedded project for me (self taught) RP2040 in Cpp with a TFT touch screen, an IMU with fusion, a strip of “neopixels”, a 12v battery voltage reader, some Lemo connectors and custom cables, all in a 3D printed case in 3 parts. I’m so close to the end but still facing some code issues.

On small computers like Arduino there is a very small memory called eeprom that stays when powered off. It saves ultra low level data (at the bit and byte level) if you don’t “format” after changing what is being saved where it then tries to read gibberish and things go bonk.

And when the data sheet is wrong that gets fun. You start parsing I2S for each bit and record the result until you see a pattern. Or when your program crashes the USB and you can’t reupload without hitting boot or reset but they are inside the box.

I had that happen with embedded programming when you forget to flush the eeprom after changing your saved values.

And then there’s stupid Cpp with

if (true) {
  do();
}

Or

if THIS
  do();
endif 

void HelloWorld(string) {
  if (string == "print") {
    Serial.print("Hello World"};
  }
}

Solved it.

The server racks behind the camera make it really hot.
