320: Why Isn't This Working?

Chris Gammell (@Chris_Gammell) of The Amp Hour and Contextual Electronics joined Christopher and Elecia to talk about firmware, learning, and books.

Chris is the host of The Amp Hour, a podcast about electronics and electrical engineering. Chris is also the founder of Contextual Electronics, where you can go to learn how to create electronics. Chris has a long running blog called Analog Life, found on his webpage chrisgammell.com,

Chris is learning firmware as part of his consulting business. He likes Elecia's Making Embedded Systems book.

KiCon is happening at CERN in September 2020. More information at 2020.kicad-kicon.com.

We talked about Jay Carlson who was on Embedded talking about his Amazing $1 Microcontroller project (#226) and about teaching embedded systems (#303)

We talked about book club books:

• The Practicing Mind

• Draft No 4

• Drift into Failure

• The Science of Self-Learning

And a fun book series called Bobiverse (the Audible version is especially good).
