I’m one of those horrible greasy mechanical engineers but I’ve ‘had’ to write a large chunk of control systems, firstly in Turbo Pascal and 8086 assembly code (that probably gives you an idea of my age) and now in C/C++ using either Arduino or mbed cores.
Still to spend the time learning Python and most of my stuff these days is high speed acquisition and DSP, so my dabbling thus far has been limited to creating small macro keyboards (at which it is spiffing because of the ability to change the key bindings without having to recompile).
Turbo Pascal is what my Highschool offered (and I attended) once they cancelled teaching C in early 90s… glad to see more peeps from the dialup era of compu communications. I still enjoy doing ANSi art on “The Draw”
I am Professor Fate from the movie The Great Race who’s always been affectionate when it comes to unusual inventions and technical developments. After almost nine years of fiddling around with a Pi 3B, I now also own a Pi Zero together with a Blinkt! LED board to equip my new homelab with a line of old-school blinkenlights. Besides that, I program in C++ and C# and run Linux also on my PC.
Welcome aboard.
Electronics all my 67 years. =) If I find a repository I’m really interested in, I hit the Green code button and download it as a Zip file. ;)
