In Episode 3 of The Engineering Triangle podcast, Ayrton chats with Sam Moore, a firmware engineer with over eight years of experience building the hidden bridge between hardware and software, the silent workhorse behind the seamless operation of many smart devices and digital solutions!
Ayrton and Sam discuss the unique challenges of this field, including working with limited hardware resources, developing robust code, and ensuring optimal performance of devices from smart homes to IoT systems.
We look back on the development of the Koodaideri’s HydraTune system, which required precise firmware to control hydraulics remotely, ensuring safety and reliability in hazardous environments, and delved into the specifics of developing firmware for SRAM's TyreWiz 2.0, a sophisticated tyre pressure monitoring system for cyclists that provides riders with precise information on their ride quality.
Well-designed firmware can significantly impact device performance and user experience, but how can it be done quickly and cost effectively?
