Technical articles, tutorials and projects in electronics
2025 marked the launch of something that had been part of Atadiat’s goals since its earliest days: the training division. I launched a project called “Atademy,” short for “Atadiat Academy.” With this addition, Atadiat now consists of: the blog, the engineering and consultation services, and the training and education division. During the year, I contributed The post 2025: The Year of Educational…
This course was taught in the second semester of the academic year 2024–2025 for fourth-year students in the Department of Computer and Automation Engineering. It was an important experience for me, since it was with students from the same department I graduated from about 11 years ago, and I returned to teach after more than The post My First Embedded Systems University Course: Resources, Lessons…
One client last year assigned me the task of technical supervision of a smart watch project designed and produced in collaboration with a Chinese factory.

It has been over a year since launching Atadiat s consultation and freelancing service, and it’s time for an Upwork review. Last year, in parallel with launching the service website, I also started building a profile on the freelancing platform Upwork. After more than a year of being active on the platform, I can share some The post Upwork Review: Lessons and Tips from a Year of Freelancing…
Abstract Today we re talking about a crucial aspect of firmware design the Finite State Machine (FSM), commonly known as the State Machine. While the term might ring a bell for all engineers and most firmware developers, it s interesting how often we overlook its explicit usage in our designs. Yet, at its core, every firmware The post Unlocking Efficient and Declarative State Machine…
Calibration for the magnetometer is essential for any operation that involves using magnetometer data. Among the available PC tools for calibration, MotionCal by Paul Stoffregen is considered the best. It provides users with the ability to visualize data and check important statistical information such as gap, fit error, and variance. For more about magnetometer calibration The post Magnetometer…
After doing research on available designs on the internet for Qiblah compass devices, I found that the available ones are very few and miss an important feature of tilt compensation. As this device need obviously to be accurate, thus giving importance to improving accuracy is way more important than visual and sound effects. Therefore, I The post Open-source Qibla finder with tilt compensation…
