Image generated with OpenAI’s DALL·E. About Me and the Company I Worked For I’m an electrical and computer engineer. For 10 years, I worked at a company that manufactured complete Roller Brake Tester (RBT) systems. I was involved in production, on-site installations and support, and system upgrades, often traveled and worked in the field. I never shied away from getting my hands dirty installing systems, maintaining them, and even debugging firmware issues on-site in the midd

A behind-the-scenes look at brake testing and the critical role of Roller Brake Testers. A Roller Brake Tester is a specialized diagnostic device used primarily in vehicle inspection stations and service garages to assess the braking performance of motor vehicles. It is a crucial part of periodic technical inspections in many countries. Image generated with OpenAI’s DALL·E. How Does It Work? The tester consists of two or more motorized rollers that the vehicle’s wheels sit on

From analog signals to actionable data - a closer look at DAQ systems. DAQ, short for Data Acquisition, refers to the process of collecting, measuring, and analyzing physical signals from the real world and converting them into digital data that can be used by a computer or microcontroller. It’s a cornerstone technology in engineering, automation, scientific research, and embedded systems. Image generated with OpenAI’s DALL·E. What Does a DAQ System Do? At its core, a DAQ sys
