Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHans Bull is a Senior Hardware Engineer based in Larvik, Norway with 11 years of experience designing PCBs, schematics and embedded firmware for commercial audio-visual systems and bespoke prototypes. Trained in informatics and automation, he blends system-level thinking with hands-on skills in microcontrollers, embedded C and electronics repair, often stepping from design into assembly and field troubleshooting. At Laud Media he shapes both digital and analog audio/video solutions, and his open-source work shows deeper involvement in Arduino and STM32 ecosystems—adding pinouts, timer fixes and printf/debug support across widely used cores like ATTinyCore, MightyCore and STM32duino. Detail-oriented and curious, he enjoys learning new platforms and contributes practical patches that improve compatibility and tooling for hobbyist and professional embedded developers alike.

Jul 2016 - Jan 2023
Arduino hardware package for ATmega8, ATmega48, ATmega88, ATmega168, ATmega328 and ATmega328PB
Role in this project:Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT Developer
Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT DeveloperContributions:30 releases, 311 commits, 52 PRs in 6 years 7 months
Contributions summary:Hans is primarily involved in developing the hardware package for various ATmega microcontrollers. The user created pin definition files for the Arduino environment. They added support for PB6, PB7, PC6 as well as the complete ATmega328PB target. Furthermore, the user has updated the bootloader (Optiboot) for compatibility with these new microcontrollers, including providing pre-compiled hex files.
