Electrical and Computer Engineering

I've been a systems engineer for about 5 years, and while I do appreciate the exposure to a bit more hardware than a pure software engineer role would give me, I still feel like 95% of my job is coding.

I've been considering switching to a DevOps role, and getting more involved with infrastructure.

My only real concern is that if I do this, it may be harder to break back into the engineering side if I ever decide I want to come back.

Does anyone have any experience or advice in this regard? Also, sorry if this isn't the best place to post this; Still trying to find all the new communities here.

QSPICE is a new and fast SPICE simulator written by Mike Engelhardt (author of LTspice). QSPICE was initially limited to beta testing in May, then expecting to become open beta testing in July.

Quick start gives a quick overview of the UI and other elements of the software. Below are few more videos on the features.

To get more into espresso i finally got a used gaggia classic and upgraded it with a replacement controller running the open source gaggiuino project.

Fully with loadcell scales, pressure sensor, pid temperature control and a hand soldered all in one pcb.

You can also use standard arduino style modules for most components but the pcb makes it much more compact and reliable.

In this case the modifications are fully reversible in case a future owner wants to revert it back to stock.

Works great and automates a lot of steps to be more consistent. Now i just need to practice the manual parts of making espresso ;)

Note: this is not my project, i just documented the build process on my machine. Maybe it helps someone to get an overview what goes into such a conversion and inspires more users to attempt it.

The community is already pretty big and many also adapted the project for other machines.

For those uninitiated and those interested in Smith Charts, check out this video from w2aew. I recommend his channel for all things RF related.
