If you follow your usual pattern I expect to see a post in the near future boldly proclaiming, I've cracked it !

We need to collect all your posts into a book "What it is really like to be an Embedded Systems Developer".
You let us know about your frustrations and failures followed by the Eureka Moment of success.
Reminds me of my days developing custom microprocessor systems in the 80s. Things like debugging a flaky board and the scope probe correcting the bad IC socket connection, or the scope ground fixing a missing ground connection.
We are all cheering you on and sitting on the edge or our seats wondering what Out-Of-The-Box solution you will come up with.

Thanks. I hope it doesn't put too many people off. I know some don't care for the technical nature of a lot of my forum posts, but to me the struggles of development seem like they should be right at home in the lounge. What kind of coders would we be if we didn't swap war stories?

Embedded Development is 49% swearing at Chips, 11% swearing at the "person" who told you to do it & 40% alcohol dependency mixed with luck...

You're annoying every now and then...
.... but you're annoying in a pleasant way and more importantly in an informative way

There's so much frustration in embedded work, but that little ray of sunshine makes it worth the effort.

These kinds of issues during one of my senior labs is why I stuck with software.
Did the TA know that the chip I am using had a burned out address line? And the next one as well? A4 vs A12, and we figured out the second one a LOT faster.
Third chip worked fine.

I know this feeling when it happens
Why why why, did I get into engineering?

I thought I had successfully avoided it, given my lack of formal education or background in engineering - I was at Microsoft at 18 - I never went to uni.
But no, I have to get scouted here *shakes fist at Chris Maunder* and now suddenly I'm neck deep in it - hardware as well as software, after leaving the software field professionally for years.
And for some reason I enjoy the hell out of it, even as it makes me want to snatch myself baldheaded.

I got stuck on parodies for a bit but then emulates came to mind. After a couple near misses the last few days I'm happy to nail one! Nice clue.
