I'm experimenting with new C++ constructs.
In C++ callbacks and templates , I developed a generic object oriented callback handler using templates.In modern C++ modules I tried out an example that uses C++ modules...
Since C++20, a new feature is available: modules.
We're all used to C++ header and source files. And we all know their pros and cons. Because I'm reviewing a new C++ alternative for them, I'll focus on the cons of header files:

When writing reusable code, I like to be consistent and use standards. For C++, there are many flavours out there.
I've been looking around for guidance on writing modern C++ code, with templates. That's when I bumped into the µOS naming s...
The C++ Standard Template Library has a decent set of containers. std::array, std::vector, std::list, ...
When you write a software function, it can be useful to handle whatever container the user wishes to use.
In my little print function here...
I wrote a series of articles about GitHub Actions. To:
validate that no one submits code that breaks the build
automate nightly deploy and update online documentation
The flow below shows the current setup. Read it down to up, to understand wh...
I have a Raspberry Pico GPS library project. It comes with several examples. And each example can communicate to the GPS over I2C or UART.
Initially, it was a single-example project. I used a definition in the CMake config, that allow...
You can Make GitHub build your project. I'm using an Action to check out branches and build them, when a pull request is submitted. I adapted an existing flow from the Raspberry organisation. Here's what it does

The title says it all. You can generate project documentation from the comments in the source files. I'm using doxygen for that. What I tried today (and succeeded in), is to make a GitHub action that:
kicks off a process on one of its...

Introduction
This blog follows on from my previous blog, which explained how to get started with the ARM Mbed OS 6.15 BLE API and how to develop a simple Button-LED BLE app.
I’m now taking it a step further and will be explaining how to develo...
Introduction
Arm, the owners Mbed OS, has been in the news recently following the decision to withdraw from the Nvidia acquisition. Whilst this had nothing to do with Mbed OS itself, it did somehow renew my interest in this free open source Internet...
I don't get over-excited about programming languages and their evolution easily.But it happened this time. C++ is introducing a new dialect. The 2020 standard. There are a number of things that are useful but I wouldn't consider them gro...
At this point, I will digress and turn the clock back, life was good we had the Internet, Ethernet and Microsoft could not spell or supported either. At that time for Ethernet cable, you had your choice of Thick (10Base-5), Thin (10Base-2), and or CA...
I will not stutter. C is one of the most powerful computer languages ever written. In this blog, I will show what an operator is.An operator in its simplest form would be: a added to b. In this case, the operator is added to. But you also have an ass...
Don't know if anyone is interested in this, but since i just finished my quick and dirty brute force solution of the Queens Chess Problem using Python i thought that maybe i should publish it to see what kind of feedback i will get: #!/usr/bin/p...

IntroductionPython is one of the most used programming languages adopted as the high-level application development environment to develop in the embedded environment. This is due to its portability and how it is easy to program, together with its wid...

In this post, we are going to create a program that displays multiplication flash cards. The user will be presented with a problem, and given a place to input their answer. A correct answer will move to the next question, whereas a wrong answer will ...

According to a report of future projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, coding and programming jobs will increase by 22% by the year 2020. This is due in part by the ever-expanding mobile networks, which will in turn lead to software compani...
