I experimented with embedding whole PCBs, batteries and coils inside 3D prints to seal electronics invisibly in PETG parts. I explain pausing prints to insert components, then resuming, and share pros, cons and practical tips. Read the full post if you'd like step-by-step ideas and precautions.

I continue exploring C++ templates for embedded systems, showing template classes, pin abstraction, and combining Sender and Pin examples to reduce firmware size and improve code clarity. I explain static methods, type aliases, and trade-offs between runtime flexibility and efficiency. Read the full post to see code and assembly comparisons.

I wrote a concise guide for embedded developers to refactor Arduino/C++ firmware into clean, modular components. I walk you through creating Display, Buttons, and Animation modules, testing and committing small changes, and improving maintainability. If you'd like practical steps and examples, please read the full article.

I guide you through evolving a simple Arduino blink example into a reusable event system. In Part 2 I cover function-pointer events, an EventLoop module, and practical multi-event examples. If you want cleaner, non-blocking firmware structure, read the full post for code and explanations.

I walk through a practical, minimal event-based approach to firmware using Arduino examples. Step by step I refactor blink sketches into modular events, introduce a millisecond timer, prevent skipped events, and encapsulate logic into classes and modules. Read on to follow the examples and apply them to your projects.
