The ESP 32 I’ve mentioned in the other post, is to bring connectivity to the Badger and Tufty 2040.

Lately, my ass has been heavily beaten by a “blessed” ESP32 S2 to the point that it has already taken me a week to understand that little devil! Hope you’re having fun there!

After some time, research, and a lot of reading schematics, along with many code examples in C/C++, Go, and Rust, I’ve finally managed to make the @pimoroni.com Tufty 2040 work with embassy-rs and embedded-graphics. It was full of challenges, especially because it uses a Parallel Bus instead of SPI.

If you do #embedded #rust on the #rp2040 with elf2uf2-rs, and you struggle with the recent "Unrecognized ABI" error due to a change in Rust's elf header for `thumbv6m-none-eabi`, I've landed StripedMonkey's patch in both Arch Linux and Homebrew, so if you use those packages, things should work […]

More silly than framing it and hanging on the wall? Am I not being silly enough? 🤣

It is funny to learn new things. Debugging a new PCB, today I finally had the opportunity to learn a bit how to use an oscilloscope. Together with it I realised the PCB I am working isn’t transmitting enough energy from one point to another. Checked on multimeter and confirmed in the oscilloscope.

You don’t have to do only for embedded. Rust is, in some way, similar to Swift. It is a very nice language to give a check.

Thiago Holanda @tholanda.com · Jul 20

It is an amazing language for many things. What I like most is how it helps you in development with quick indications of where you made mistakes. Also, the embedded community has already done very hard work to enable us to develop things. I would recommend you to take a look.

Mostly Rust. Sometimes C/C++, but most of the time in Rust. Hopefully Swift soon hehe

Not exactly in the direction you’ve asked, but towards embedded systems. Does that work? 😅
