What were you doing eating toast in the shower?

Couldn't you toast the bread without a toaster in the shower?

if you want to toast in the shower just raise a glass - no 'lectrics required

Sounds like shortly thereafter you were thoroughly embroiled.

And shortly thereafter, you were toast!

You should try to be more grounded.

In this weeks newsletter I noticed that there were a fair number of persons doing embedded projects and was wondering;
1) What device are you using?
2) What IDE?
3) What field?
Just curious, I will not sell the data I obtain from this poll, unless of course someone actually offers me money!

1) Mostly ARM based, RPI and last project was ESP32 based.
2) I mainly Used Eclipse the last 10...15 years but I switched to VSCODE recently because it is a lot easier to configure.
3) A bit of everything: compressor control, multiple compressor management systems, dryer controls, pallet robot control, smart meters, communication hubs and gateways, HVAC control, domotics and industrial scanner applications.
It takes a slightly different way of thinking than traditional PC/server programming does but I have always enjoyed it a lot. Programming something that makes a machine tick is just very pleasant.

Awesome
I'm starting to use VS Code more and more also, but I have a lot to learn on configuring!
I also have always loved getting down to the hardware level.
BTW Had to google Domotics, learn something new every day!

1) Too many. We work for dozens of diffeerent archs (it is indeed a compiler + runtime for HMI).
2) VS mostly, then it depends on the platform for some stuff.
3) Embedded HMI. 95% automotive but there are also comemrcial applications (home appliances).

I use a "smart" camera from a German company that has a TI DSP in it. I think it is in the 32000 family.
By default the IDE is Eclipse but I can't stand it so I use VS2017 to edit and Eclipse to host the compiler.
We are in the manufacturing industry. The cameras are part of a LASER scanning system used to construct a 3D model of an object being processed. As far as embedded systems go, this is not very primitive and is quite capable since it has Ethernet communication and a VGA output.

Haven't even tried, I'll stick with Atmel Studio or whatever they call it now.
