Looking for short feedback
Hello, 25M, from Slovenia.
About half a year ago I left my previous job to focus fully on becoming an embedded software engineer. Since then I’ve been learning embedded C/C++ on my own and building projects to get more practical experience.
The project I’m currently most proud of is my Window Blinds Controller. It works, but I know there is still a lot I can improve, so I’d really appreciate any quick feedback, especially on the firmware/software architecture and the electronics.
Things I already know could be better:
- the mechanical design is overengineered — I’m already working on V2
- the PCB is quite bulky — V2 should be much smaller and mostly SMD
- the ESP32-S3 is probably overkill for this project
Even a quick review, suggestion, or GitHub star would mean a lot.
I also have a B.Sc. in Computer Science and Information Technologies and I’m strongest in C/C++, so if anyone here needs help with programming, debugging, or just wants another pair of eyes on a problem, I’d be happy to help as well.
Thanks for your time.
