    Determine relative positioning of objects in a confined underwater environment (small tank of water)

    I am designing a system that will allow me to take measurements of ultrasonic sound waves with an Onda hydrophone in an underwater environment. The ultrasonic transducer will be inside a water meter. The hydrophone will be mounted to a 3D gantry system allowing me to move it precisely around...

    Advice for a recent graduate

    Regarding specialization ... I don't forsee any work on FPGAs, DSP, ASIC, i.e. cutting edge tech where I work now. I'm not sure I want to work for the company for three to five more years and only be able to say I programmed MSP430 micros. On another note (loosely connected), The company I...
