Here is a good project to build if you want to practice SMD soldering. It's a simple chasing LED lights.

💡 Arduino Back-and-Forth LED Flasher Here's a simple Arduino project that's perfect for beginners — a row of LEDs that chase from one side to the other, then reverse direction and come back. ➡️ 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 ⬅️ 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 Simple project? Absolutely. But there's a lot we can learn from it: 🔌 Wiring LEDs correctly 📐 Choosing current-limiting resistors 🤖 Arduino digital outputs 💻 Using loops in Arduino code ⏱️ Controlling timing with delays 🔍 Troubleshooting when an LED doesn't behave correctly And once the basic version works, we can make it more interesting — change the speed, add more LEDs, create different patterns, or control it with a potentiometer. Want to build this? 👇 Comment **HOW** and I'll post the complete CircuitWorks Lab tutorial with: ✅ Wiring diagram ✅ Parts list ✅ Arduino code ✅ Step-by-step build ✅ How it works ✅ Troubleshooting guide ⚡ Build it. Test it. Troubleshoot it. — CircuitWorks Lab

Opinions on Reddit's r/embedded community are mixed regarding AI's current impact on hardware careers: some note that physical prototyping and firmware debugging still require deep human hands-on expertise, while others point out that AI code and schematic helpers are rapidly advancing. Chip and Semiconductor Design, Schematic and PCB (Printed Circuit Board) Development , Manufacturing and Quality Control and embedded systems to name a few. What are your thoughts on this?

Hey everyone! I’ve been diving deeper into my Flipper Zero, and I’m curious what projects, custom apps, or learning paths everyone here is working on right now. Quick update on what I'm playing with: - Custom Apps / Firmware: Experimenting with loading scripts and testing out custom app templates. - Sub-GHz / NFC: Exploring signal analysis and hardware protocols. - Goal: Building a smooth workflow for my own custom plugins. -
