Having regular blogs I think really helps with the planning and having to write up the results does make my learning sink in faster. Before the challenge I'd done a bit of Arduino coding, very little Linux stuff (in the last 20 years) and I've only been 3D printing since December last year. Having to learn a lot to get things working, the only thing that's familiar is the coding needed to talk to the APIs etc.
Thanks crjeder, it is difficult to strike a balance between having something that's good to read and having ALL of the detail of what you've been doing. I've been putting some of my failing tests into the comments of my posts. As you say it could help others who are coming down the same path. There's another batch of Infineon boards on for a RoadTest so anything we do on those will definitely get re-read. I've got a holiday coming up so I need to get ahead of the curve and write the post in advance for that week. There's been some great work done on the SAMA5D4 in the last few weeks that would definitely help people.
p.s. I write the story parts of the posts on the way to work in the morning so that gives you an insight into how my sleepy mind works.
p.p.s. I'm looking forward to seeing how all of the projects turn out
Ooops that shows me that I was a bit to lazy blogging my tests which went wrong. I always forget that those would allow others to learn, too. Not only the positive results. Jan Cumps and Workshopshed has to be praised for their effort! They have lots of work done on their projects and posted so much content. Amazing.
