hello,

i'm a programmer who currently have started learning microcontroller
programming (arm) using c. one thing that i'm worry about is that i am
not expert in analog or electronic. what should i know or learn about
electonic in order to get a career in this field?

in past, i used logic analyzer and oscilloscope back in school but
haven't used them for a long time.

please let me know what topic in electronic I need to learn for this
important?

I know many very effective embedded software engineers whose sum of formal electronics knowledge is how to politely ask an EE for help.

Basically, if you work somewhere that there is a diverse staff, then the more EE knowledge you have the better, but you often only need to be able to scrutinize a schematic and get a general idea of what it means.

Do you need to implement control loops in software?
"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" gives you just what it says.
