    • Well, it's not alive It's actually a very very thinly sliced piece of fish and the heat is causing it to like wiggle and move You've probably seen it before on okonomiyaki That's that savory pancake or maybe something from Osaka like they have like the octopus balls and sometimes they add them on top of that So this is actually fish It's bonito and they cut them into these like slabs and they're dried smoked and fermented and they are absolutely Rock hard these dried fermented slabs are put against these special blocks with blades on them and they shave them into these thin curls Thin curls that look kind of like this But this particular type of katsuobushi is used for seasoning on top of things like tofu or on Okonomiyaki, it tastes a little bit lighter and it's shaved quite thinly You can also buy a different type of katsuobushi that's used for flavoring your soup So if you're making dashi from scratch Which I've made a video before on how to make dashi you put those on top of the hot water and it kind of soaks And creates that smoky slightly fishy taste.

    What's new in ArduinoJson 7

    14:56What's new in ArduinoJson 7
    • C++ aspects that most Arduino users ignore. It's called the missing C++ course because it covers what is usually omitted by other courses. Chapters 3 and 4 are the deserialization and serialization tutorials. They are available for free on arduinojson.org. Chapter 5 covers advanced topics such as filtering, deserialization in chunks, JSON streaming, allocators, readers, writers, converters and other valuable techniques. Chapter 6 explains how the library works and how to navigate the code. I rewrote this chapter from scratch and this version is radically different from the previous one. Chapter 7 is a troubleshooting guide. It shows how things can go wrong and how to prevent bugs. Most of this chapter applies to any C++ program, whether it uses arduino json or not. Chapter 8 contains five case studies showing how to use arduino json in different scenarios. I invite you to purchase the book directly at arduinojson.org slash book. Not only will you learn essential things but you'll also support my work allowing me to continue investing a crazy amount of time in improving the library and helping the community.
