EP#148: A Unique Perspective on Feature Creeping

The podcast got mentioned in an article! 12 Great Podcasts for Engineers from the Mind Tribe blog. Mind Tribe is a design driven engineering firm based in San Francisco. The list spawns from a survey from the engineering team at Mind Tribe. Thanks Mind Tribe for mentioning our podcast!

• Parker
  • RPI3 Compute Module
    • Added PCM5122
    • Added LAN9514
      • Still figuring out the schematic part
      • Ethernet and USB hub built in
  • EFM8 Universal Beeeeeeeeeee
    • Com port native! VCP driver
    • Secret Project
      • It may DOOM everything
    • ST7735
      • Common SPI TFT Screen Module
      • 1.44” 128x128 pixels
  • Wagon Update: YouTube videos
• Stephen
  • “Feature creeped” my way into designing a 20 band graphic eq and a fancy solid state effects loop
    • 20 band eq with +/- 12ish (simulation shows 13.8) db of gain per band
    • Each band has a Q of 2.87 so they end up being ½ octave
    • Using the 1kHz standard
    • Designed with “constant Q” in mind
• R.F.O.
  • STM releases STM32 Cube MX V5.0
    • Redone UI and cleaner look
    • Better searching options
    • Looks like a more streamlined approach to configuring your uC. Sort of a “left to right” path
  • CNC Router options?
    • Need a 2’ x 4’ CNC machine
      • CNC Router Parts
        • CRP4824 router kit
      • Vacuum Table
      • Get a Guest for DIY CNC
  • Cheeseburger Compass
    • GPS and Raspberry Pi combined to let you know where the nearest Cheeseburger fast food place is.
