Hi. Another industrial guy here. I am the 'software' part of an engineering team running maintenance and new equipment development in a manufacturing site making lamps and PSUs.
I am self taught and have found there are not many online communities or resources (excepting manufacturers sites) for us industrials.
My role includes programming PLCs and HMIs (human machine interfaces) of various flavours through to heavily VBA programmed Excel and Access tools for the office and shop floor, Raspis showing HMTL kiosks and throw in a little arduino code for various things.
Nice to see others out there!
Hi JC5 nice to see there are more of us lol. I actually tried finding out a good PLC community a while back and yes you are absolutely correct there are no communities, other than plctalk. The only sorta community I found was theautomationblog.com/share-your-k... but when I saw I couldn't share my article somewhere else I stop pursuing that site, also it looks cumbersome each article you have to go through a submission and approvals.
What I would recommend doing if you really want to have your own blog is to host a jekyll blog on github or if you just want to have it at your own hosting site. github.com/barryclark/jekyll-now in fact that's how I publish content here on dev, I publish at kodaman2.github.io/blog/ and sync here with a rss feed. Take a look here if you would like to do something like it dev.to/kodaman2/how-to-setup-a-jek... just disregard the rss feed part.
I might do another blog just for automation content, there so much I could share in regards with Siemens and AB just stting in my head lol.
Nice to see pi's and arduinos at work in an industrial environment!
