Why People Can Always Tell When AI Wrote Your Text
Young adults are letting ChatGPT draft their texts and hard conversations. Here's why it's obvious and what actually works instead.
I’m building a high-speed communication interface on an STM32-based board and need production-ready firmware written in C/C++. The microcontroller is an ARM Cortex-M series device, and the single most important goal is to move packets through the interface as quickly and reliably as possible—latency can be modest as long as overall data throughput remains very high. You will design and code the full communication stack, configure the peripheral clocks, DMA, interrupts, and buffering strategy, then expose a clean API that my application layer can call from RTOS or bare-metal. Low-level register work is fine, but you’re equally welcome to leverage STM32 HAL/LL or CubeMX if that accelerates development; the final code must compile under STM32CubeIDE or GCC-based Makefiles...

Note: This is a pilot project phase with ability to scale the concept to a wider client base after the tests. What We Already Have Complete system architecture and hardware list but need to know if we can get manufacturers with industry rat...
I need a complete IoT gateway hub that brings LTE (4G), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee and sub-GHz RF into a single, reliable unit for remote monitoring and alerting of smart-home devices. The goal is straightforward: gather data from a variety of in-home sensors and actuators, push it to the cloud over cellular when Wi-Fi is unavailable, and relay actionable alerts back to the user in real time. Here is what I expect: • Hardware design that accommodates the five radios with proper coexistence planning, power management and antenna layout. • Embedded firmware that can automatically select the best back-haul (LTE or Wi-Fi), maintain secure connections and expose a clean API or MQTT/HTTP interface for the smart-home layer. Also with bluetooth, zigbee and rf. • Delive...
We are a medical device manufacturer developing the next-generation electronic control box for an existing product. We have received a Statement of Work from an Indian engineering services firm covering PCBA design, firmware development and Engineering Verification Testing, and we want an independent expert opinion on it before we sign.

I’m looking for an embedded-systems engineer who can take ArduPilot’s AP_Periph codebase and turn it into a robust CAN-bus battery monitor. The unit will sit on a DroneCAN network and stream full MAVLink telemetry, so it can slot straight into my existing ground-station setup without any extra protocol bridges. Integration with other telemetry options such as or SmartPort isn’t needed right now. Key functions I must see on the bus: • High-accuracy individual cell voltage for every cell in the pack (not just pack voltage) • Hall-effect current sensing that stays linear and low-loss all the way to 400 A • Standard AP_Periph health, identification and parameter handling so the flight controller recognises the device instantly Deliverables 1. Schemat...
Our sports venue runs on an ageing electronic scoreboard built around seven-segment LED and P10 LED panels. It still works, but erratically, and it can only be operated from the hard-wired control box bolted under the grandstand. I need the whole system modernised so I can walk onto the field with a phone or tablet and run the show from there. Scope of work • Inspect every board, power rail and driver on the existing hardware, replace any damaged or obsolete parts, and leave the display fully refurbished. • Design and build a new controller unit that adds rock-solid wireless connectivity plus a battery-backup circuit so a brief power loss never blanks the screen. • Write clean firmware for that controller, making sure it can address both the seven-segment digits and t...
I need production-ready firmware for a Renesas MCU that will exchange data through a Quectel EC200 cellular module using both IEC 60870-5-104 and plain TCP/IP protocols. The code must handle complete data transmission, reception, and on-board processing so the MCU can act as an intelligent field unit that talks reliably to a SCADA master as well as to standard IP services. Scope • Build or integrate a lightweight IEC104 stack alongside a TCP socket layer that can coexist without blocking. • Manage all EC200 interactions (AT commands, connection setup, keep-alive, error recovery) over UART/SPI as appropriate. • Implement configurable buffers, parsing, and frame validation so that raw sensor payloads can be wrapped/unwrapped for each protocol. • Provide hooks whe...
I already have the full mechanical side of a new, cost-effective outdoor vending machine—frame, actuators, motors, sensors, the lot. What’s missing is the electronic heart: a sleek touchscreen interface, a reliable controller, and rock-solid QR-code payment processing. Here’s what I need built and integrated: • A capacitive touchscreen (preferred size 7-10 in) that looks premium outdoors, survives glare and light rain, and gives a smooth, intuitive flow from product selection to checkout. • A central controller (Raspberry Pi, STM32, or a similarly capable board—open to your recommendation) that drives the existing motors and sensors, handles temperature monitoring, door locks, and any future add-ons. • QR-code payment only: the screen should dis...

I have a TI-OS graphing calculator on my desk, a bag of parts, and a YouTube tutorial that supposedly turns the device into a pocket-sized ChatGPT terminal. What I need now is an experienced hardware-meets-firmware problem-solver who can transform that theory into a working build. Here is what you will be working with • Device: Graphing calculator running TI-OS • Goal: Load and run ChatGPT locally (or via whatever clever connectivity you propose) • Desired integration level: “Camera” – I chose this because I want to push the project further than simple text replies; ideally the camera add-on will feed images straight to ChatGPT for on-device analysis. If you see a smarter route, feel free to outline it, but the camera element must remain central. Scop...

Here’s what I’m looking for: • Clean, well-commented firmware for both the remote unit and the robot side, written in Arduino IDE or ESP-IDF. • A lightweight, low-latency communication routine that keeps the link alive and automatically reconnects if the signal drops. • Pin mapping and a simple wiring diagram for the buttons, power, and any status LEDs you recommend. • Quick setup notes so I can flash the code and verify that each button triggers the correct motion. I’ll consider t...
I’m looking for an experienced FPGA engineer to create a one-off firmware build for an Artix-7–based LeetDMA/Screamer PCIe DMA card. The goal is to make the card appear on the bus exactly like my reference network interface card so automated heuristic checks see no difference. Scope of work • Re-order and modify the Capability Pointer chain inside so the PCIe config space layout mirrors the donor NIC byte-for-byte. • Implement full TLP transaction handling, including correct completion timing and status codes. • Provide accurate BAR sizing and address decoding as the original NIC does. • Add proper MSI / MSI-X interrupt setup with working vectors and masking logic.

I’m putting together a simple proof-of-concept: an XY plotter that uses stepper motors and a motor-driven cream / syringe head to write one predefined word on plain paper in four different sizes. The word and the sizes will be hard-coded for now; no live UI or font selection is needed. I just want to see smooth, accurate motion, clean cream extrusion, and clearly legible lettering in an “Elegant” style. Here’s what I need from you: • Mechanical design and parts list for the XY frame, rails, carriage, and syringe mount, all sized for an A4 sheet of paper. • Electronics schematic and firmware (Arduino + GRBL, or any open-source control stack you prefer) that drives two XY stepper motors plus a third actuator for the syringe. • G-code or equivalen...
I need a business-grade projector purpose-built for classrooms that lets teachers and students interact directly with the projected image. The core requirement is an integrated interactive touch-screen capability—think smooth, low-latency annotation right on the board—paired with the brightness and reliability expected from a presentation unit. Here’s what I’m after: • Hardware: a projection engine bright enough for well-lit rooms, plus the touch-enabled overlay or sensor array that will register multiple fingers or a stylus without calibration headaches. • Software: driver package or embedded firmware so the touch layer appears as a standard HID device to Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS. Annotation tools or whiteboard software hooks are a bonus. •...

Zephyr and LVGL developer: build 5 navigation models for a smartwatch OS We build MintWatch, a 454x454 round AMOLED watch running our own OS. The firmware is Zephyr with LVGL, written in C, and it builds today for native_sim on a desktop as well as for the watch silicon, so you can do this entire job on your own machine with no hardware. We need five new operating system models added to the existing set. What a model is here A model is not a theme. Our tree already separates the two, and this job is only the first half: Home: what is on the screen when the wearer is doing nothing. A watchface, an app grid, a conversation, a scrolling list of text. These are different devices, not different skins. Navigation: what every gesture does from home. Peers on a line, sheets over a home, cards in a...
I need an embedded developer who can write reliable, production-ready firmware that squeezes extra performance from aftermarket automotive modules. The immediate focus is on three devices: • CNG timing advancers • O2 optimizers • CKP sensors The end goal is measurable performance improvement, not just basic functionality, so timing accuracy, fast signal processing and rock-solid stability are essential. I am not certain whether any legacy code exists for these boards; you may be starting from a clean slate or refining half-finished firmware. Either way, I will supply the hardware, electrical schematics, and any reference data I can gather. You will advise on toolchains, microcontroller families and calibration workflows, then deliver: • Complete, compile-ready...
commissioning a run of 90 pairs of football shorts that quietly collect on-field data and turn it into clear, post-game insights for each player. The sole focus is performance tracking, specifically movement patterns and positioning; metrics such as sprint speed or heart-rate can wait for a later iteration. Here’s what I need from you: • Hardware & garment integration – lightweight IMUs/GPS or comparable motion-capture sensors sewn into the waistband or side panels without affecting comfort or washability. • Firmware & data capture – reliable logging of X-Y positioning and orientation throughout a 90-minute match, time-stamped for sync. • Cloud or local pipeline – automated off-load after the session (BLE or Wi-Fi is fine) into a databas...
I have an idea for a two-way text-messaging gadget that is no larger than a common correction-tape dispenser. The brain of the unit must be an ESP32-C3 and the only wireless link I need is Wi-Fi—no Bluetooth fallback. Power will come from a small, replaceable battery rather than USB or a rechargeable cell, so every milliamp you can save counts. Here is what I expect when we are done: • A compact PCB layout that fits the rough footprint of correction tape (around 95 × 25 × 15 mm; I can adjust a little if it helps with antenna clearance). • Complete schematic, Gerbers and a concise BOM with readily available parts. • Firmware built with ESP-IDF or Arduino-ESP32 that can send and receive short text payloads over Wi-Fi, display them (even a simple OLED/LE...

I’m developing a dedicated handheld that will operate offline. No Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, or any other radio is required, so the entire design has to function in isolation. Because of that restriction I’m open to whichever operating system keeps the footprint light and the boot time quick, whether that’s a stripped-down Android build with networking stacks removed or a fully custom OS. but more likely just on/off. then a button to run. Your task is to take the idea from concept to a working prototype. I’ll need the electronic design (schematic, PCB layout, and component selection), a daylight-readable display, a rechargeable battery able to power at least eight hours of continuous use.. Low power consumption, immediate on/off and rock-solid stability. Deli...
I need a compact firmware-and-hardware solution that lets a PIC microcontroller, programmed with the XC8 compiler, manage a battery-powered power supply built around a lead-acid pack. Here is what I am after: the PIC should start up from the battery, regulate or switch the output rails as required, continuously read the pack voltage, temperature or any other basic health indicators, and trigger clear actions (for example, low-voltage cutoff or status signalling) before the battery reaches critical limits. A simple serial, I²C or even LED indicator scheme is fine for status feedback—as long as I can read the key parameters easily during bench tests. Please base the code on MPLAB X + XC8 so I can compile and tweak it locally. If you prefer a specific mid-range PIC that is re...
I need a specialist to build the core firmware. The brain of the machine is an STM32 MCU and it must coordinate three key subsystems—motors, heaters, and fans—through a pair of Trinamic drivers (TMC2209 and TMC5160). Your code will run in Embedded C/C++, parse incoming G-code, and translate it into smooth motion and reliable temperature control while guarding against every fault scenario a printer can face. Here is the scope in practical terms: • Motion: drive multiple stepper axes with proper acceleration/deceleration, junction deviation, and micro-stepping using the two Trinamic driver families. • Temperature: read NTC thermistors, run a well-tuned PID loop for hotend and bed, manage cooling fans, and shut everything down on thermal runaway. • Safety &...
I’m wrapping up the hardware side of a 3.5 kW single-phase on-grid inverter I’m building for my own use and now need well-structured C firmware to bring it to life. The goal is solid, standards-minded code that will: • keep the inverter phase-locked to the utility grid (grid synchronization), • sample and report key electrical parameters in real time (power monitoring), and • trigger a fast, orderly shutdown whenever limits are exceeded or the grid disappears (safety shutdown). I will share the full microcontroller pin-map, schematic details, and any manufacturer SDKs I already have. You’re free to work with bare-metal C or leverage vendor libraries as long as the final build remains portable and easy for me to maintain. Clear comments, interrupt-...
