I work in a company that has a old codebse in c with tons of realtime intime stuff that is acessed via a shared memory from the realtime to the non realtime system. Tons of strucs get copied around then typecast to other structs and global variables all over the place. You never know where a variable is written to and where it is also acessed from or if it is just a copy. No assembly but still super obscure.

With embedded stuff its still done like that. And if you go from the arduino functionss to writing the registers directly its a hell of a lot faster.

Im not a gamedev but a electrical engineering student and i am currently in my one semester project phase in a company where i am programming a 3d visualization for welding robots. First time working with imgui and opengl and the feeling when you wrote your first shader and a 3d model is rendered to the screen is priceless.

Yea of course it is a “software” feature every motor in a ev is controlled by software that switches power electronics. “Dissconnecting” the phases of the motor so it wont recoup while is spins is still neutral. Or is “neutral” only a thing that a automatic transmission can do? If i put my manual out of gear is it then not in neutral? People dont want the manufacturer to install a clutch to physicly dissconnect the motors from the drivetrain but they want to be able to let the car roll without it braking by recharging the battery or dumping the power as heat into the powerstage.

And by the way yes most evs still habe gears just with a fixed ratio because if the motor was directly connected to your axle full motor rpm would be way faster than your max road speed you can drive.
