My Roadmap part 4

Electronics... Yikes! I told you previously that I have enough curiosity to dive into anything related to programming—guess what, electronics and the world of embedded systems are now among them! It all started with participating in robotics competitions. The organizers told us that, to make a robot, you need to combine mechanical design with control design, and they gave us sessions on both. I barely cared for those sessions—as you know, I’m driven by a self-learning mindset (“I gotta do it my way!”). My first event was the Under-Construction competition organized by the IEEE Helwan Student Branch. I only had experience in programming and making games, and I was tutoring game-development sessions at the same time. I treated hardware the way I treat software: a try-and-error strategy. Unfortunately, I realized the drawbacks a bit late—after burning countless components and, basically, burning money like crazy. “Let’s hit run and see.” Even when wiring: “Let’s wire and see.” I was hook...
