I've been working at home for the last 5. Doing iOS, android, desktop apps and firmware. I find the firmware the most frustrating, probably because I'm the least experienced at it. Trying to debug things by sharing screenshot of a USB scope is a pain. Having to drive in every time I need a mod done. Even worse is driving in and whatever piece of equipment I wanted is at somebody else's house (or forgotten at mine).

I've had a better experience when doing firmware upgrades for mature products, but has anybody had a good experience developing hardware products with a work from home team?
