Happy Valentines Day! - What do you Love / Hate about Electronics?

cstanton

(or singles awareness day)

 

Everyone has a love in their life, their partner, pet, a television show, and for others it is their favourite electronics project that takes pride of place in their application or showcase.

 

Though for most of us, we do not always love our electronics, in fact, they can be the bane of our existence. Whether it's the work virtual private networking not functioning, computer memory deciding to fail, or our mobile phone not having signal.

 

For me recently, it was the Bluetooth transmitter receiver not transmitting, until I flicked it to receive, paired it, then flicked it to transmit. I hate the fact I have to do that, and yet I love how well it now works! Paired up with a Raspberry Pi Zero it functions as a Bluetooth speaker with extra facilities!

 

How's your love/hate relationship with electronics? Perhaps you have a project tale similar to myself, or do you hate a particular item outright? If I was to choose something I hate, it's how invariable the electronic sparkers work on gas ovens and hobs!

 

Let us know in the comments below image and you should earn a badge and some points for your efforts - unless the gamification's failed me! (damn technology image)

  • I love it when I write a firmware program, do not rush it, test the components of the program and it works!

    I also love it when I write a program and it doesn't work the first time - it makes me do the previous step. If it works the first time, I usually get a failure much later image

    I hate some component manufacturers that force you to install yet another Eclipse based IDE, so you have 10 of them on your PC.

    I also hate datasheets that are just a stupid structure description of a component, not describing the behavior and process to properly use it (as intended by the designers).

    Thanks, that explains something to me. I had Eclipse installed already and when I started roadtesting the Maxim MAX32650-EVKIT the vendor install created a new separate version of Eclipse when I thought it would simply add some drivers, paths or the like into my existing version. Its good for me learning a new board as this version works seamlessly but also seems a bit needless.
