Wayne Stambaugh访谈KIAD电子发展应用

电子

上一次，Wayne与我们分享了他对生活的一些兴趣以及他对电子产品的热情。
他让我思考了我们在嵌入式领域走了多远，给了我很多未来的希望。
对于那些只考虑技术的那些书呆子，Wayne让你渴望去一些高尔夫球场外出或外出，至少坐在自行车上呼吸新鲜空气。
韦恩还在我们之前的帖子中提到他从机械方面开始，然后对电气产生了兴趣。
我自己也记得我年轻的时候就是这种情况，主要是因为我还没有理解电子产品，而且一旦将电子产品拆开，将电子设备重新组装起来非常困难。
那你们其他人怎么样：你们在哪里以及如何开始使用电子产品？
在这个由三部分组成的系列文章的第2部分中，我们将与Wayne一起探讨他对开源编码和团队合作的看法。
JP（Jeremy Purcell）：开源世界是什么驱使你的？
WS（Wayne Stambaugh）：需要抓住自己的痒和回馈开源社区的愿望是我的主要动力。
几乎从我开始使用开源软件（1996）开始，我意识到它是一种优秀的开发模型。
当我厌倦了处理当时使用的一些不那么出色的EDA工具时，我开始攻击KiCad。
到那时我已经使用开源软件已经有好几年了，我正在寻找一个可以贡献并发挥作用的项目。
KiCad似乎很合适。
谁知道它会把我带到现在的位置？
JP：什么会让开源世界变得更好？
WS：如果减少重复工作会很有用，但我怀疑这个问题会完全消失，因为开源仍然是一个非常划伤你自己的努力。
我也可以在没有一些愚蠢的论点和不时发生的不必要的敌意的情况下生活。
它总是一个时间汇，我还没有看到产生任何有价值的东西。
JP：你最喜欢的MCU是什么？
WS：这取决于应用程序。
对于不需要大量电力的小型工作，我一直都喜欢8位Atmel产品。
对于需要更多功率的应用程序，很难击败一些新的ARM内容。
JP：你最喜欢的硬件工具是什么？
WS：回想起来，任何HP测试设备都是黄金标准。
他们的逻辑分析仪是最好的。
可能是我用过的最酷的硬件之一是Teredyne L210在线测试仪。
它是一个发射极 - 集电极逻辑（ECL）野兽，有00条电缆从电源出来。
即使在80年代中后期，如果我记得，这件事可能会使时钟边缘小于20pS。
JP：一个有凝聚力的团队在获得KiCad发布时有多重要？
WS：这非常重要。
您必须得到所有主要开发人员的支持，以便他们继续完成任务。
开始研究下一个很棒的功能非常容易，并且需要推出修复和抛光才能获得稳定的释放。
软件包开发人员，库开发人员，文档编写人员和翻译人员也需要付出巨大努力才能为稳定版本做好准备。
对于像KiCad一样大的项目，这比大多数人意识到的要大得多。
在第1部分中，我们与Wayne讨论了他对电子和编码的兴趣。
在第3部分中，我们将与Wayne一起深入探讨实际的KiCad电子开发应用。
敬请关注！

Last time, Wayne shared with us some of his interests in life and his passion about electronics. He made me contemplate how far we have come in the embedded space and gave me a lot of hope for the future. For those nerds out there who think only about technology, Wayne makes you aspire to go on some golf outings or go out and at least sit on your bike for the fresh air. Wayne also brought up in our previous post that he started on the mechanical side, then became interested in the electrical. I myself remember this being the case when I was young, mostly because I didn’t understand electronics yet, and it was VERY hard to put electronics back together once you got them apart. How about the rest of you out there: where and how did you get started in electronics?

In Part 2 of this three-part series, we’ll explore with Wayne his thoughts on open source coding and teamwork.
JP (Jeremy Purcell): What drives you in the open source world?
WS (Wayne Stambaugh): The need to scratch my own itch and the desire to give back to the open source community are my prime motivators. Almost from the time I began using open source software (1996), I realized that it was a superior development model. I started hacking on KiCad when I got tired of dealing with some of the less-than-stellar EDA tools I was using at the time. I had been using open source software for quite a few years by that time and I was looking for a project where I could contribute and make a difference. KiCad seemed like a good fit. Who knew it would lead me to where I am now?
JP: What would make the open source world better?
WS: It would be useful if there was less duplication of effort, but I doubt that issue will ever completely go away since open source is still very much a scratch-your-own-itch endeavor. I could also live without some of the silly arguments and unnecessary hostility that happens from time to time. It’s always a time sink that I have yet to see produce anything of value.
JP: What’s your favorite MCU?
WS: It depends on the application. For small jobs that don’t require a lot of power, I’ve always been fond of the 8-bit Atmel products. For applications that require more power, it’s really hard to beat some of the new ARM stuff out there.
JP: What are your favorite hardware tools that you use?
WS: Way back when, any piece of HP test equipment was the gold standard. Their logic analyzers were some of the best. Probably one of the coolest pieces of hardware I’ve used was a Teredyne L210 in-circuit tester. It was an emitter-collector logic (ECL) beast with 00 cables coming out of the power supplies. Even in the mid to late ’80s, if I recall, this thing could place clock edges to less than 20pS.
JP: How important is a cohesive team when it comes to getting KiCad releases out?
WS: It is very important. You have to have buy-in from all of the lead developers so they stay on task. It’s very easy to start working on the next great feature and push off bug fixing and polishing required to get a stable release out the door. It also takes a big effort by package developers, library developers, documentation writers, and translators to get everything ready for a stable release. For a project that is as big as KiCad, it’s a far bigger task than most people realize.
In Part 1, we talked with Wayne about how he got interested in electronics and coding. In Part 3, we’ll take a deeper dive with Wayne on the actual KiCad electronics development application. Stay tuned!
