Could have ended up much worse. How many things did they do wrong?


That was just plain scary.

These kids now days are out there. I've had a 22-23 yr. old jump back
like a startled cat when I turned a lathe on for a second cause he was
asking questions. Somehow, I would guess computers, they are suppose
to try the unlikely to see if it works. My kid did something like that
in front of me, can't recall exactly what it was. Something to do with
audio video, like fast forward and rewind at the same time, but that
wasn't it. I guess as if there is a special feature hidden behind
trying to break it or one's self to see what happens.

"Oh, kids these days" was probably exclaimed by the first proto-human
that learned to talk, then grew old.

Do you need to implement control loops in software?
"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" was written for you.
