I know the guy (well know online) who made these altimeters for the rocketry hobby.

he went from idea to prototype in 6 months i think. Pretty amazing if you ask me.

Edit: oh i was just looking at the images scroll by and saw a screenshot. I did a rework of the mobile app for him, i totally forgot about that. (i used ionic)


Really common to do it in spare time as an intro to doing it as a consultant. Esp. if you have electronics skills it's not hard to find work. As a "side hustle" though, it's generally about selling a hardware product, a tool, or your skills (SkillaaS).

Embedded is a broad term though, say a bit more about your experience and interests and maybe someone will pop up with pointers.


if you can build a small watch circle like thing that vibrates every 30 mins if you haven't moved it'd be great
