Love computers and coding. While I'm particularly passionate about Rust, it's not the only language I work with. Recently started loving embedded programming
The legend of the AirSniffer lives on! 🙃 This time as AirSniffer PL, as in "Portable, Logger". I added, with surpisingly small amount of hassle, an RTC. I wanted to use my own driver for the PCF8563, but the breakout boards with that chip are all pretty chunky. This one is a DS3231. The main device

CFP for Rust Nation UK 2027 is open.
We want talks from people actually shipping Rust in production, not just talking about it. If that's you, we want to hear from you.
⚡️ [IoT Book] Built a simple burglar alarm with an ESP32-C5 and Rust.
You have to start somewhere. Start with a simple example using a sensor.
- A PIR sensor detects motion
- Triggers a buzzer and turns the onboard RGB LED Red

[WIP] IoT Development with Embedded Rust Book
- First chapter: You can't do a simple onboard LED blink. So, RGB blinky!
- Using Waveshare ESP32-C5 WIFI6 Kit
- More chapters coming.

Our speaker for this session is Josh Junon . He is presenting about Oro OS: a custom Operating System he is writing in Rust.
Embedded Test: A test harness and runner for embedded devices
> Provides a test harness for embedded systems (riscv, arm and xtensa)
> Use this on the target together with probe-rs on the host to run unit + integration tests on your embedded device
⚡️Flashing STM32 Firmware with ESP32 and Embedded Rust [Final]
- Three articles that teaches SWD Protocol
- Finally flash a simple LED blinky program into STM32 using an ESP32 as Programmer
⚡ Part 2 - Writing Rust code to make an ESP32 a Programmer for STM32
- In this part, we access the STM32 AHB-AP and read its IDR value
No wonder Reddit hates AI
Hoorah! ESP32 wrote blinky program into STM32 blue pill board
Please ignore the messy wiring as this is my 1st time ever doing this! 😂
It was a really fun and challenging journey as I really got out of my comfort zone and learnt a lot of new things!
I strongly encourage you to do something similar too!
Thanks. I like this and moved into this block
Is there a better way to do this than a const block?
