Embedded Files
For our first week, Mr Yusri introduced to us the topic of 'Embedded Systems'. Embedded Systems are specialised computing systems designed to perform specific functions in larger systems. A few examples of this being microwave ovens, smartwatches and pacemakers.
Our first task was to identify embedded systems that could be found around our homes and general environment. Hence, I went on a little adventure downstairs to my family kitchen and found a suitable appliance, that being the Tefal Smart Multicooker!
Subsequently, we then had to explain why exactly this specific product we chose was beneficial to the community. Personally, I enjoyed talking and preparing this section as I got to think of the bigger picture when it came to using this product; where it would be used, how effective it is, the amount of money you can save by using this product. These topics were all touched in this slide.Â
Lastly, I had to comment my personal thoughts on the product and it's clear as day that I overall, really do enjoy the features the product has to offer, however I also did nit-pick the multicooker as I did not like the fact that the multicooker did not have a setting for adjusting the temperature, which is a crucial and key component when it came to baking treats, a feature the multicooker indeed had.
Overall, I believe this was a great start and introduction to what we would be learning throughout the semester with Mr Yusri. He provided clear context on the subject and explained the little details well. I had more fun than I expected searching my house for a cool looking product that featured an embedded system and I also valued being able to think of scenarios and situations where the product would be ised, the logistics of the product and also what the product could improve on overall!
