I found the concept of L-System cool. so i tried to implement it with my custom 2D Graphics Library and it turned out really beautiful!

Got a second chance — How would you recommend learning RTOS

Yesterday I had an interview for a Software Embedded Engineer position.

I do have some hands-on experience with embedded systems from my last job, but to be honest, it was pretty basic and amateurish.

About 20 minutes into the interview, the team realized I wasn’t familiar with RTOS concepts at all. Thankfully, they were kind enough to give me a second chance — they asked me to study RTOS and come back for another interview.

I’ve started going through the Introduction to RTOS series by DigiKey. It seems pretty beginner-friendly, but I’d love to hear what others think.

Do you think the DigiKey series is a good place to start?

And more generally — if you were in my shoes, how would you go about learning RTOS effectively and quickly (ideally with hands-on practice)?

Any tips, resources, or projects you’d recommend are highly appreciated!

From time to time folks ask about how to figure out the best size enclosure for a Vero/perfboard project. I’ve often mentioned cardboard mockups, and hope it’s helpful to see an example from this morning. How-to in comments.
