L.R.A 78 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Not even near me God dam.Thanks for the info bluehash! I'm really interested on the L4 series, unfortunately it's only supported by the Cube :< Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fred 453 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 ST do other European ones. I attended one on L0 and NFC a while ago, and there's a F7 one at the moment. http://www.st.com/web/en/seminar.html Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yyrkoon 250 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I don't understand why these companies won't / don't just do web seminars. Something accessible like youtube. Personally, I'd much rather buy my own hardware, and watch a few videos - at home. Than get a free < $20 usd board, and have to go sit in on a seminar that is probably at least a couple hours from my home. TI used to do something decent, by allowing users download their introduction videos. Now, they require flash, and that is not something I deem reasonable. If they do not want to use up their bandwidth for downloads . . . fine, put it on youtube . . . Or even just a really good write up of the hardware, and how to set it up for development.

yyrkoon 250 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Not to mention they do not even have a seminar in Phoenix AZ( close-ish to where I live ) which really is inexcusable. But I guess us hillbillies out here near Phoenix know nothing about electronics . . . EDIT: Sorry @@bluehash, thank you for sharing all the same. My aggravation is not targeted at you by any means. Just frustrated that these larger companies out there do not seem to "get it". spirilis 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubnet 238 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 @yyrkoon I agree, it would be far less expensive to produce youtube videos than flying their employees to multiple locations around the country and renting expensive hotel conference rooms including refreshments and/or lunch. Having at one time been on that side of the fence, the reason they do this is to control the sales process as well as have a captive engineering audience for half a day to a day. If there wasn't a decent ROI for them they probably wouldn't spend the 10's of thousands it costs to do one of these tours. All about business and large production design wins.

abecedarian 330 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Irvine is less than 60 miles from me so maybe I'll go take a look if I'm off work that day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose, but one thing that needs to be understood - By "them" <--- reminds me of Riddick heh. Anyhow, yeah. . . they need to understand that they want us to use their product. So essentially, they need us, and we do not necessarily need them. I'd like to learn about, and use some of the ST Micro stuff. Some of their MCU's, and dev boards seem pretty cool. However, I feel these also need to be more accessible. As I'm just a hobbyist, with less time on my hands to play with stuff like this than I want. Same for PIC, and actually PIC has been on my mind for a long time. But Microchip so far has not given me much of a reason to make the leap. Ok, so what do they care about the hobbyist right ? What if their helping me learn lands me a job in a company where I have a say in which platform I / we use ? . . . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What if their helping me learn lands me a job in a company where I have a say in which platform I / we use ? . . . Agreed. They have to be cognizant of that possibility. And the amount that they are willing to cater to a the hobbyist marketplace obviously varies by company based on their belief that the investment will pay off in the future. TI obviously feels that it is a worthwhile endeavor to support the hobbyist market and I applaud them for it. It is certainly a different market than it was 10-20 years ago, as the lines seem much blurrier between the "professional engineer" and the "hobbyist". As an aside, Intel (and I am sure others as well, but Intel was prominent) used to donate tens (perhaps hundreds) of thousands of dollars in development equipment to university electrical engineering departments. The obvious goal was that these students graduated very familiar with the Intel CPU products and that they would design them into products in their new jobs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jpnorair 340 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Just for the record, the STM32L4 is preferable to the MSP432 for systems requiring ultra low noise and/or fast wakeup from deep sleep, because it has better low-power performance without the buck converter. The MSP432 has an integrated buck converter -- so does Atmel's L0+ chip they market the hell out of (it's actually worse than both TI and ST in IoT usage). MSP432 is better for anything that can tolerate a bit of noise from the buck DC-DC, and which can tolerate 100 us latency from deep sleep (alternatively, you can spend a bit of extra money and clever design time to shield all the I's and C's used by the buck). It's an interesting time for low power embedded. These M4 chips with crazy fast ADCs (MSP432 and STM32L4) can do a certain degree of SDR and FFT jobs on renewable power. Very cool.

yyrkoon 250 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 So, was I the only one who found it very hard to watch that video ? Bad audio + heavy<insert accent> accent . . . I had to close the feed. Couldn't watch it . . . EDIT: On a side note. I recieved an email the other day from Atmel with a link to a video demonstrating this: http://start.atmel.com/ Not exactly directly related to the discussion here, but I found it interesting. I've not been an Atmel fan in the past, but things like this could change my mind. This is a link to the video: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
