There's two Embedded podcasts out there.

Well, that's a sad dichotomy.

Yeah. I would stop at one. I was interested in that first one. Yeah. It sounded cool to me. You know, what's interesting, I think, what I think embedded is, is this idea of creating, I would say more so in the last, I don't know, maybe since the pie, the raspberry pie came out, like this idea of like, I can do things myself. I can take this small thing,

I can take this small thing,

that is just a single board computer and I can learn to program or I can add servos. I can add, I can 3d print now because those are more ubiquitous and I can start to make my own thing in the world. And the system I put on there is not necessarily connected to the internet or the rest of the world, but it might be through wifi or whatever. Is that, is that kind of what you mean by embedded?

Like this kind of world where you have standalone devices that are not really tethered via wire to the network, so to speak, like how do you define embedded?

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah. You got my interest. Go.

Yeah. You got my interest. Go.

That's a good explanation of it. I was thinking a very simple one from my recent Christmas holiday. We got my oldest son some e-drums. So he has a drum kit. As you can imagine, an eight-year-old going on nine, banging on some drums is cool. But it's also, as a parent, not always the appropriate time to bang on drums. And we want to encourage the obvious curiosity that is drumming.

However, we also think that e-kits are cool because they're less loud, and they're cool because they have this controller. It's not a computer, but it is a computing device because it has MIDI controllers and all these different sounds for drums. So you can choose the metal kit or the e-rock kit. So it's got all these different drum kits in there.

It's taking the sensing input from the microphone on the e-drum into the controller, into your headphones or your amplifier or to your tracking device. And it's turning that into MIDI control sound.
