01#Essay: The Importance of Installing fab labs?
Greetings!
How to find yourself in your dream field, like fab labs, working with state of the art equipment?
In Brazil? forget it!
Here are 10 discoveries of my attempt to evolve in electronics:
1. Valuation of Online Learning. It’s affordable. It’s career-focussed. We may take full responsibility. Set boundaries. Set goals. Extension courses help to solidify the concepts learned in classroom training; a face-to-face class is already the ideal setup for recording videos;
2. Always use correct tools; no longer have a tool x with proprietary software y, with examples of codes found on the internet; fragmentation works against us; as we get more fragmentation, we will become a task-based society and not a job-based one; today’s answers are for yesterday and it is open-source;
3. Use of ever new channels and tools; Technology Feels Like It’s Accelerating — Because It Actually Is; we will never have the ideal tools in no time; I’ve always wanted to have a Freescale at home to work with, but today I have the esp-32 \ o /: Do what you can, with what you have, where you are— Theodore Roosevelt;
4. Embedded Electronics in Brazil lack incentive; so have fun and stop thinking about making money all the time: /
5. The Proteus app is a fabulous app! its price (fair) not so much … every electronics school deserves Proteus; a fab lab is a solution!
6. Digilent has a wonderful 16-port logic analyzer; in front of this product, the oscilloscope becomes obsolete and a stationary clutter;
7. Focus on hands-on tasks: practical and simple tasks and direct to the point and linked to human needs; IoT (not only) for human comfort, but, and primarily, focused on fire prevention, climate emergencies, environmental protection …;
8. Apply basic electronics only as proof of concepts; buy ready-made boards; focus on software;
9. Share the codes even more; the documentation and publication solidify the knowledge and put your talent to the test; a professional who makes and delivers, and have nothing to hide behind a pile of impactful titles, like those that study mycorrhiza in the clay soil, or the atomic flow in the tungsten nucleus… with little or no application at all (unless of course, guarantee the master’s degree …);
10. Continue being or trying to be a one-man-band: human collaboration is still timid; the living wheel of life puts us in an uncooperative clash;
“As much as you try to be a (mockery of) Michelangelo, remember that you don’t have a court (of Medicis) investing in your projects …” (unknown author)
That’s it for now!
