In this new episode of Build, Create & Learn – A Maker’s Journey, I take a short break from the deep technical dives into Embedded Linux to explore something more fundamental — curiosity.
During my visit to Maker Faire Salzburg, I met passionate creators, young experimenters, and communities that reminded me why I started making in the first place. It was a vivid reminder that curiosi...
In this new episode of Build, Create & Learn – A Maker’s Journey, I take the next step into the world of Embedded Linux: writing, debugging, and cross-compiling my very first character driver.
After my initial “Hello Kernel” experiment, I wanted to go deeper — to understand how real drivers work, how they register with the kernel, and how data travels between user space and kernel spa...
In this season premiere of Build, Create & Learn – A Maker’s Journey, I begin a brand-new adventure: diving into Embedded Linux and Kernel Driver Development.
After years of working with microcontrollers and maker projects, I wanted to understand what really happens under the hood — how Linux talks to hardware, what lives inside the kernel, and why that matters for anyone building mod...
After weeks of SD card frustration on STM32, I’m relieved to say: the new setup just works. From a simple blinky app to logging environmental data and GPS coordinates straight to a microSD card, I now have the first version of...
In this episode, I share the full story of why I’m switching ...
Ever wish you could ditch that annoying USB cable while working on your microcontrollers? In this episode, I share how I finally untethered my embedded development board using a Raspberry Pi – a real game-changer for my workflow!
Then, we dive into the exciting world of GPS for my FPV drone telemetry system. Join me as I recount the struggles (C++ library headaches and mysterious scrambled data) and the triumphs of getting the MTK3...
Welcome back to Build, Create & Learn — A Maker’s Journey! In this episode, I’m taking you along on my early adventures with embedded programming using the STM32 microcontroller.
From that first blinking LED to the moment I finally got sensor data from the BME280, it’s been a ride full of bugs, head-scratching errors, and small wins that felt huge.
I’ll walk you through:
- How I g...
In this first episode of "Build, Create & Learn: A Maker's Journey", join Stefan as he dives into building a custom FPV drone telemetry system from scratch.
From STM32 boards and LoRa radios to ‘what did I get myself into?’ moments — it’s an honest look at a maker’s journey: learning by doing, celebrating small wins, and proving you can build what you imaged. Let's start the journey together!

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
