Three Boards, One Wire Protocol, and a Week of Learning to Doubt My Own Evidence MCC-HIL · Embedded Systems · Debug Log Three Boards, One Wire Protocol, and a Week of Learning to Doubt My Own Evidence How a motor-control HIL rig’s UART chain went from “nothing works” to a fully verified 3-device relay — […]

Introduction Modern industrial automation systems are rapidly evolving toward connected architectures where embedded devices, edge gateways, MQTT brokers, and SCADA systems exchange real-time telemetry continuously. In this project, we built a complete Industrial IoT telemetry pipeline using: The objective was to send live STM32 runtime variables into an Ignition HMI dashboard using MQTT This architecture […]
