I agree wholeheartedly with you that watchdog timers are required.īut over the years I've been mentally cataloguing interesting ways in which people have got them wrong. There is no plastic box, and I can only presume all of the components are included.Ī lot of readers responded to the last issue's article about watchdogs.
It could be a great project to do with a young 'un. I bought this from eBay a couple of years ago and just haven't had time to put it together.

It's a 10 MHz function generator - or, rather, a bag of parts that can be assembled to be a function generator.
Well, this month's giveaway is not a Heathkit, but is a kit. Their kits introduced a lot of people to the world of electronics. What a lot of fun that was! (The company has been reincarnated and sells a handful of kits today.) I built a Heathkit scope, walkie talkies, FM radios, some ham gear and more. Remember Heathkits? The better part of 50 years ago the company had a store here in Maryland, which merited many pilgrimages from myself and my nerdy friends. Lynn Wood won the 1946 Philco scope in last month's contest. Here are the tool reviews submitted in the past.īob Japenga has developed a checklist for ensuring the security of IoT devices. Please submit clever ideas or thoughts about tools, techniques and resources you love or hate. How about your team? Are you satisfied with the group's effectiveness, productivity and quality? Have you benchmarked the team against industry standards? If not, check out my Better Firmware Faster seminar. Were our tools adequate? Did we need to get smart about some new technology? Were there ways we could improve our methods and processes? When I ran engineering teams we used the new year as a chance to reflect on our practices and needs. While the material is not particularly difficult for an experienced engineer, I found a new admiration for the students willing to slog through this, while their non-STEM friends are partying parental profits away. I just finished reading a college textbook on circuit theory, to see what I remembered from those EE classes oh-so-long ago. Last year I studied microbiology, and have gotten just a tiny bit of a layman's understanding of this fascinating subject. My goal is to learn more about many things. Me, I'm not making any commitments to going to the gym (I don't think I've ever been to one), or eating better, etc. Traditionally the New Year holiday is a time for some reflection and a time when many make themselves promises about changes they'd like to make. I truly enjoy the give and take, and Muse readers benefit from the collected wisdom of your thoughts. Thanks so much for your dialog, ideas and thoughts over the years.
