    Programming for Embedded Systems

    That does make sense. Basically I just need to lesrn c and I can design the gui in any of the languages I’m familiar with thay has capability to call c functions. I guess I have to get the Arduino boards to start learning.

    Programming for Embedded Systems

    Is C++ not supposed to be better than C?

    Programming for Embedded Systems

    Picked up a new term bare metal programming. It looks like I will have a start learning C++

    Programming for Embedded Systems

    It seems like learning C/C++ is the way to go. Having complete control of the hardware is also desirable but the learning curve is what I’m worried about. I’ll will look at microprocessors more and see what kind of applications I can build. The Tinker Board seems to be a the best to start with...

    Programming for Embedded Systems

    I have been looking at single board PC and came accriss a video that showed the comparison in performance between Raspberry Pi3, Tinker Board, and Odroid-XU4 If I remember correctly, there was a time I found the screen of an ATM machine displaying the task bar that showed the program running...

    Programming for Embedded Systems

    I recently got bit by a bug that had me thinking about coding for embedded systems. I know some electrical and basic electronics but mostly I'm a programmer with some experience in Python, Java, PHP, Android and iOS. I have been thinking about how they make electronic device like MP3 players...

    Dust Control on Mining Equipment Electrical Rooms

    It wont really matter if it is underground or surface but I'm interested in both. I would like to know how other mining operations keep dust out of an electrical component room on the mining equipment like shovels & drills.

    Dust Control on Mining Equipment Electrical Rooms

    I would like to know the best way to minimise dust in a room full of electrical equipments like breakers & relays.

    Protecting 1400HP Motor with 369 Relay

    I do get the part where it would be catastrophic to match the setting. The only thing that would help me now is if I can get my hands on the motor datasheet. Do you have any idea where I can find it. I have been searching and I'm yet to come accross it.

    Protecting 1400HP Motor with 369 Relay

    I would like help protecting the motor with the following data on the name plate: MOD : MGA 6811 NA : 1679410707 HP : 1400 RPM : 1487 Hertz : 50 VOLTS : 6900V AMPS : 103.7A DUTY : S1 INSULATION : F IL/IN : 7 SF : 1.15 COS : 0.88 AMB : 50°C FTM : RISE 70°C We have an Motortronics...

    Atlas Copco ECM 660IV Breakdown Problems

    I dont really have a problem. I just want to know what problems to expect that could result in longer downtimes.

    Atlas Copco ECM 660IV Breakdown Problems

    Has anybody ever had breakdown problems with the ECM 660IV diesel drilling machine? How did your team solve them and how long did it take before coming up with a solution?

    Transmission Line Voltage drop/rise equation

    I also came across EPRI AC Transmission Line Reference Book I'll definitely be getting myself a copy.

    4 wires on a fan motor, can you help a 'mechanical' guy? elec questi

    I second MiketheEngineer You really should mark the wires when taking them out. Or do as I always do, take pictures of the connection to your unit before disconnecting anything.

    Sizing Disconnect/Breaker for main feed

    I think it would be easier if you add up the individual current demand of each load to get the main breaker current rating. But then you would also have to consider the maximum current each motor can draw when there is a voltage sag of about 10% You might also have to consider the diversity...

    Transmission Line Voltage drop/rise equation

    Electrical Engineers also have a red book! Where can I find the soft copy?
