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 need robust, well-documented firmware that lets an ESP8266 on the Arduino platform both send and receive infrared commands for multiple air-conditioner remotes. Serial command-line interaction over USB or Telnet is all that’s required; no web or mobile interface is necessary. Core tasks • Build or adapt an Arduino-compatible sketch that scans incoming IR frames, decodes them, and logs the raw timing as well as the decoded protocol and data. • Implement a complementary routine that allows me to replay captured frames or craft new ones from the command line, then transmit them through an IR LED with correct carrier frequency and timing precision. • Structure the code so adding or tweaking protocols is straightforward—I will be experimenting with a variet...
I need a full EasyEDA project—schematic and routed PCB—for a tiny Atmega32U4 board that lets a computer drive a single external LED through a 3-pin XH-JST connector (GND / 5 V / LED). The board must talk and be programmable over a horizontal USB-C port and should remain as small as practical without sacrificing good layout practice. Core requirements • EasyEDA schematic using the Atmega32U4, including crystal or resonator, USB-C E-Markers (where needed), ESD protection, boot-cap circuitry and the standard reset network. • Break-out to one XH-JST-3 plug clearly silkscreened with the GND, +5 V and LED symbols. • Primary power supplied by USB-C 5 V rail. • Firmware that gives basic functionality: detect USB power, expose the MCU as a simple USB HID to ...

I am building a proof-of-concept 2D LiDAR unit from the ground up and need a mainland-based embedded electronics engineer who can handle every step of the design and bring-up process. The goal is a compact indoor scanner that excels at obstacle detection and terrain mapping while holding tight, high-accuracy tolerances. What the work involves You will take the idea from blank sheet to working board: optical layout, high-speed signal processing, motor/galvo drive, power management, firmware, and a simple USB/TTL data interface that streams polar coordinates for fusion in my existing SLAM stack. Expect heavy use of Altium (or KiCad), STM32/ESP32 class MCUs, precise timing control in C/C++, and low-level debugging with J-Link or OpenOCD. I will handle mechanical housing once you define env...
I’m putting together a new product prototype that pairs a PAA5100JE optical-flow breakout board with an ESP32. The goal is to have the ESP32 handle Wi-Fi connectivity, pull motion data from the PAA5100JE, and give me software control of several GPIOs so I can drive LEDs and switch power to an additional sensor on command. Here’s what I need from you: • An advised pin map and any level-shifting guidance for a clean, noise-free hardware hookup. • Well-structured firmware (PlatformIO or Arduino-IDE friendly) that: – Initializes the PAA5100JE and streams its measurements at a steady rate. – Publishes those readings over Wi-Fi—MQTT, HTTP, or WebSocket is fine, as long as it’s fast to implement and stable. – Exposes simple comman...
LOOP every ~2 seconds, for each burner sensor independently: 1. Read current temperature from sensor 2. Add reading to a rolling 15-20 second window of recent readings 3. Compute rate of change over that window 4. IF temperature has plateaued (stayed within ~±2°C band) AND plateau duration > 10-15 seconds AND temperature >= 90°C: -> Trigger "BOILING LIQUID" alert - Sound buzzer: 3 short beeps - Send Blynk push notification: "Burner X approaching boil" - Enter cooldown state for this burner (~2 min, suppress repeat alerts) 5. ELSE IF temperature keeps climbing past ~120°C without plateauing: -> Trigger "DRY PAN / FIRE RISK" alert - Sound buzzer: continuou...
I need a compact, production-ready PCB that accepts a single DC input and delivers three regulated rails—24 V @ 12 A, 12 V @ 12 A and 5 V @ 10 A—for an industrial-automation control panel. The board must keep those rails alive for roughly 5-10 minutes by automatically switching to a lithium-ion battery pack whenever the main supply drops. An onboard 8051 microcontroller will continuously sense input power, drive status LEDs and, when a brown-out is detected, shut the rails down in a defined sequence after the battery grace period. I will flash the MCU here, so please include well-commented source, compiled HEX and a simple serial or GPIO interface for configuration. Electrical safeguards are critical in the factory environment, so integrate robust overcurrent, overvoltage...
I’m finalising the hardware for a new piece of wearable technology and now need the firmware that will bring it to life. The sole purpose of this first release is health monitoring, so everything you write should focus on gathering and processing the following signals with medical-grade accuracy and minimal power draw. 2. What Is Already Completed (Do NOT Redo) 2.1 Hardware Design Deliverables (Final) - COMPLETED The following have been completed and reviewed: ●Final schematic design (Altium) ●ESD / EMI protection design ●Power tree & power integrity design ●RF separation strategy (LTE / GNSS / BLE) ●GSM + GNSS + sensor integration plan ●Final 4-layer PCB layout (controlled impedance) ●PCB stack-up definition ●BOM with alternates & footprint expectations ●Power IC replacemen...

I am building a compact touch-screen instrument driven by an ESP32 that sits on a NMEA2000 backbone and shows ONLY the data I care about—environmental readings and tank levels. I already have a shortlist of hardware (Waveshare ESP32-S3 7-inch LCD Development Board, 1024x600 Resolution, 32-bit LX7 Dual-Core Processor 240MHz, Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Support, Onboard Antenna, with Touch; Waveshare 2-Channel Isolated CAN Bus Expansion HAT for Raspberry Pi with MCP2515 + SN65HVD230 Dual Chips Solution and Multi Onboard Protection Circuits) and will forward exact part numbers the moment we start. Your job is to write the firmware and create a flexible GUI that I can tweak later without touching the low-level code. I need more than a basic skin swap: the layout, color themes, page order, and...
I have a custom board built around an STM32 MCU and I need production-ready firmware that turns it into a reliable embedded control system. The main focus is the button-based user interface: tactile switches, toggle buttons, encoders, potentiometers feed input to the STM, STM should communicate with a windows form application that communicates between peripheral devices on the board and data available in the application. Scope of work • Bring-up of the MCU with STM32CubeIDE and a clear HAL structure. • Implementation of the button reading, debounce, state machine etc for all input methods mentioned above. • Handling of the LED indicators and any SPI, I²C, or UART devices already routed with STM32. • Graceful error handling and low-power housekeeping so the b...
I need a seasoned electrical / electronics engineer to take a voltage stabilizer for industrial equipment all the way from concept to a bench-tested prototype. The unit must accept anything from 200 V to 480 V on the input side. What I am expecting from you: • A complete schematic with component selections that balance reliability and cost. • Simulations (LTspice, PSpice or equivalent) that verify thermal behavior, transient response and overall regulation. • PCB layout files (Altium, KiCad or similar) ready for fabrication, with clear creepage / clearance and EMI considerations. • A detailed bill of materials, including alternative parts in case of supply issues. • Assembly and test procedures so I can replicate your bench results and move to pilot produc...
I need a complete electronic hardware solution for a therapeutic, drug-delivery device that administers medication via inhalation. The brief covers everything from early-stage architecture to a working, testable prototype. The hardware must precisely control dose release, monitor key parameters such as airflow and temperature, and log usage data for later analysis. Size, power consumption, and patient safety are critical. Expect the design to comply with IEC-60601 and ISO-13485 principles, ready for eventual regulatory submission. To keep the project clear, here is what I expect to receive: • Detailed schematics and PCB layout files (Altium, KiCad, or similar) • Component-level bill of materials with sourcing information • Firmware source code to drive sensors, act...
My brand-new build refuses to see all of its memory. The board is an ASRock Z890 Taichi and, although the system powers up, it immediately throws RAM-related beep codes and the BIOS reports no modules installed. I’d like an expert who can walk me through a systematic BIOS and hardware diagnosis—remotely via video or chat—and pinpoint whether the problem is slot, stick, firmware or setting related. Once a clear culprit is identified, I will implement the hardware swaps or firmware flashes you recommend and report back so we can confirm the result together. Acceptance criteria • All installed DIMMs appear at their full capacity and correct speed in BIOS. • System completes at least three consecutive error-free boots into Windows. • No further memory-r...
Our IPECS UCP is already in place and running well, but the firmware is lagging behind the current stable release. I need the system brought up to date with a clean, verified firmware-only upgrade; no hardware swaps or network re-engineering are planned at this stage unless the new software requires a minor tweak. You’ll begin by confirming the exact model and present firmware build, take a full backup, then apply the latest approved firmware from Ericsson-LG. After the flash, I expect you to restore all existing configurations, run functional tests on call routing, voicemail, and any licensed features, and provide a brief report that lists the version numbers, tests performed, and confirmation that the upgrade passed without errors. Deliverables: • Verified system backup be...

I need a compact, reliable humidity-logging solution that can capture readings at regular intervals and send them straight to Google Cloud Platform in near-real time. I am open to microcontrollers such as ESP32, Raspberry Pi, or any low-power alternative, provided the final build can connect over Wi-Fi or LTE and push data securely—ideally through Cloud IoT Core or Pub/Sub—into a time-series bucket I can later analyse with BigQuery or Data Studio. What matters most is that the entire path from sensor to cloud is proven and robust. You are free to suggest the specific humidity sensor, the firmware language (Arduino, MicroPython, C, etc.), and the best authentication method for GCP, as long as you keep power consumption modest and the solution easy to reproduce. Please highligh...
I need a working prototype that lets me monitor a single-car residential parking spot without running any wiring. The concept is simple: • Hardware: a custom ESP32 board that combines LoRa radio, BLE, and a low-power magnetic (Hall-effect) sensor. It will spend almost all of its life in deep-sleep on two AA batteries and wake only when a car enters, exits, or moves. On every wake-up it must stamp the event with time, append the car’s BLE ID, and shoot that packet over LoRa. • Gateway: a battery-operated LoRa gateway that forwards incoming packets to my home Wi-Fi and then to a mobile or web endpoint of my choice (MQTT, REST, or similar). The key technical goals are extreme power efficiency, reliable car-only detection, and end-to-end message delivery you can demonstrate ...

I already have a two-screen interface finished in Squareline for my ESP32-CYD based nervoscope. All component IDs and events are set; what I am missing is the Arduino IDE firmware that brings it to life. Main screen • Shows battery level (%) • Rotates a gauge needle toward whichever of the two RTD probes reports the higher temperature Settings screen • Slider-controlled probe/needle sensitivity • Dark / light theme toggle • Information panel toggle • Screen-brightness control • Temperature unit toggle with Celsius as the default • Sleep-timeout selection Your task 1. Import the finished Squareline project, wire it to LVGL (or the display library you prefer) and produce a clean, well-commented .ino sketch. 2. Read both RTD sensor...
I have a Particle Boron development board and would like to create a compact proof-of-concept monitoring system using two reed switches and a split-core current transformer (CT). The device should continuously monitor the sensors and automatically send an SMS notification to my phone whenever either reed switch changes state or the measured current exceeds or falls below configurable threshold values. The firmware should be developed for Particle Device OS and include cellular SMS functionality. Each alert message should report the current status of both reed switches, the real-time current measurement from the CT sensor, and the exact timestamp when the event occurred. I would also appreciate assistance in determining and configuring appropriate threshold values for both the reed switch ...
I need a compact, battery-powered hour meter that bolts onto a piece of marine equipment, connects to the boat’s Wi-Fi, and silently counts every minute the engine runs. Beyond simple hour logging, it must also sample and report its own battery voltage so I can tell when the internal cell is getting low. The device should push both data points—total run-time and current battery level—to a cloud endpoint I’ll expose. I plan to read everything from a web-based remote dashboard, so no on-device screen is required. An LED or brief buzzer chirp during initial pairing is fine, but the unit will spend most of its life sealed in a damp engine bay. Reliability and low standby draw are therefore critical. Please deliver: • Hardware schematic and bill of materials...
I'm looking for an experienced hardware/embedded engineer to build a first working prototype of a wearable sensor vest for athlete movement and heart rate monitoring. Scope: Sensor 1: GPS + 9-axis IMU (accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer) — for speed, distance, direction, and position tracking Sensor 2: Heart rate sensing — open to your recommendation on approach (optical/PPG vs. ECG) for a first prototype, given the vest will be used during physical activity/sport Data transmission: BLE to a nearby tablet/laptop Physical form: lightweight vest/garment insert, worn on the back, under 150g target, minimum 3-4 hour battery life, sweat-resistant What I need from you: Schematic + PCB design Firmware for both sensor sets A basic enclosure (3D printed is fine for this stag...
I’m developing a microcontroller-based embedded system that will sit inside a vehicle (horn-relay) and act as the central hub for sensor integration and data acquisition. The core of the job is full-cycle design and development: selecting the right MCU family, creating the schematic and PCB layout, writing the firmware, and validating that the board reliably collects, timestamps, and streams data from the relay connectivity Hands-on experience in both embedded C/C++ and practical electrical or automotive environments is essential because the design must stand up to temperature, vibration, and EMI constraints found in vehicles. Familiarity with CAN, LIN, or similar in-vehicle networks is a plus; the final board will need to forward selected sensor packets to the main ECU. Deliverabl...
