I sure would like a video tutorial series using this 😅

[@ragectl]

I hope we get to see many more new Rust embedded content videos in 2024 👍

[@Perspectologist]

I’m looking forward to more embedded Rust content. I did a tiny bit of experimentation with it last year until PC tools and web servers became a more pressing need. I want to get back into embedded.

[@TobiasFrei]

Oh, there's even esp-rs in this ecosystem 🥰

[@ywenp]

Great! :) Any plans on supporting the Teensy down the line?

[@chrisbiscardi]

I haven't seen any plans for teensy. There's some work being done in the AVR area github.com/embassy-rs/embassy/pull/2273 This is the only teensy crate I'm aware of atm: github.com/mciantyre/teensy4-rs

[@rugmj]

esp32 support would be great

[@adinackerman5481]

esp32 is fully supported!

[@TheSast]

it is already!

[@chrisbiscardi]

The esp32 HALs are maintained by the esp-rs org on github and can be used with embassy (github.com/esp-rs). There's a couple of additional links to esp32 resources in the embassy readme on github as well. I didn't mention this in the video because the video is mostly about the crates *from the embassy repo* that are now published, but esp32 is supported!

This is so cool, how does one start with embedded devices

[@chrisbiscardi]

I don't have a good answer for this. I'm just reading a lot and trying some things. Getting Rust onto a board and running isn't too bad, there's quite a few places to get that (microbit, embassy, etc), but building real actionable projects is definitely a whole different step. I started with the microbit: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGjdiHyBj9VnotU and then I did some pico w work: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKipiHWGZa6oiLc and now I have a little set of electronics and whatnot that I'm working through.

[@romanstingler435]

great

[@fnux8890]

Does anyone know of a great guide for getting embassy running with an esp32?

[@Phosphoros47]

And then there is the crate `embassy` which is just a months old fork of the original embassy repository… but why?

[@chrisbiscardi]

embassy reserved the names for the crate names they are using while development was progressing on GitHub so that they could publish when the crates were ready (being able to use Rust's stable release was one concern, for example). The core "embassy" crate is one of those. I don't know what the plans are for the embassy crate itself, but that's what's happening there.
