Who else is going to Sensors Expo in San Jose? Looking for roommate(s)!
Stephane Boucher is heading to Sensors Expo in San Jose for the first time, and he is bringing cameras to capture demos and build a highlights video. He is also looking for roommates for a roomy Airbnb near the convention center, plus local tips for making the most of a free day in the Bay Area. If you are attending, there is also a registration discount code and a VIP pass giveaway in the mix.
Crowdfunding Articles?
Technical writers in the embedded world often have the expertise, but not always the time or incentive to turn it into a post. Stephane Boucher explores a crowdfunding model for technical articles, where readers would pledge small amounts to back promising abstracts before the writing begins. It is an interesting attempt to create more high quality EE content by paying authors upfront.
Embedded World 2018 - More Videos!
Two cinematic videos from Embedded World 2018 turn the show floor into slow-motion, stabilized footage using a Zhiyun Crane gimbal and a Sony a6300. One is a SEGGER booth highlights piece featuring Rolf Segger and Axel Wolf, the other is a roaming montage with appearances from Jacob Beningo, Micheal Barr, and Alan Hawse. Stephane asks viewers to enable audio and share feedback.
Embedded World 2018 - The Interviews
Stephane Boucher brought video gear to Embedded World 2018 and teamed up with Jacob Beningo to capture concise vendor interviews that focus on real product news. The videos showcase Percepio's new Tracealyzer with a drone demo, Intrinsic ID's method for creating device-unique IDs from manufacturing variations, and SEGGER's broader toolset including embOS now certified by TÜV SÜD. Watch for short demos and expert explanations.
Finally got a drone!
Stephane Boucher finally bought a DJI Phantom 4 and found it does more than boost his video production value, it’s also hugely fun to fly. He used the drone for an aerial shot at SEGGER’s anniversary and for a beach project where kids drew a turtle while a separate camera captured a side timelapse. The post highlights creative shot combinations and a reminder to fly where it is legal.
SEGGER's 25th Anniversary Video
Stephane Boucher spent a week at SEGGER's headquarters and distilled that visit into a tight, two-minute 25th anniversary video. The post highlights rising production value, thanks to softbox lighting and a two-camera setup that allows seamless wide-to-tight cuts and emotional close-ups. Stephane invites readers to watch full screen, leave feedback and thumbs-up on YouTube, and suggests future coverage like product launches or companies with happy engineers.
Went 280km/h (174mph) in a Porsche Panamera in Germany!
A week at SEGGER’s headquarters in Germany turned into more than a video shoot, it became a look inside a company that clearly runs on passion, trust, and a lot of teamwork. Stephane Boucher also gets an unforgettable autobahn ride in a Porsche Panamera, hitting 280 km/h along the way. Between interviews, B-roll, and a 25th anniversary celebration, he comes away impressed by both the people and the pace.
VERY Fast Japanese Sumo Robots
Japanese sumo robots can be oddly mesmerizing, and this short post captures that perfectly. Stephane Boucher shares a quick reaction to a video and points out the parts embedded engineers would want to hear about, like the sensors, microcontroller, algorithms, and design challenges behind the machine. It is more of a teaser than a teardown, but it makes a strong case for a deeper technical writeup.
Going back to Germany!
A conference conversation turned into a return trip to Germany for Stephane Boucher, this time to visit SEGGER’s headquarters in Dusseldorf and produce videos. The post shares how a chance introduction at ESC Boston led to the invitation, and it teases coverage from SEGGER’s 25th anniversary celebration. He also invites local tips and customer questions before the trip.
Who else is going to Embedded World 2017 in Nuremberg?
