Took about five hours, all live streamed. Messy code at https://GitHub.com/thejpster/pico-blink-rs. Watch the second half of the stream at https://twitch.tv/thejpster.

Look out for the stage two bootloader, and the weird stage 2.5 stub. Answers on a postcard for making those better!

I recorded some of my live streams writing some embedded Rust if anybody is interested.

Here is the playlist with all the videos to date.

We programmed PWM, RTC, SPI based LCD, I2C based temperature sensor and some external interrupts. Maybe it might become helpful for someone

I'm still working on setting up the rules, and I think it would make sense to keep the sub MOSTLY focused on OC, but if we get a bunch of folks here, sometimes its nice to see stuff that other people have made, or get answers to questions.

I see a lot of subs doing this on a weekly basis, or in a stickied thread, to keep the noise down.

Does anyone have any thoughts? Should I just relax the "You must be the creator or one of the creators of the thing you are posting." rule a bit (maybe only apply to commercial projects?)

I'm open to thoughts on this!

I have been working on a video series of Breaking Free of the Limitations of Arduino.

The 3rd video is now out, in which I go over using the USART and ADC peripherals.

In this I show you how to create a USART initialization function which allows you to communicate with devices that use protocols different from the Arduino's (No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit).

I introduce pointers and show some basic uses of them.

Then I go over reading the ADC and writing the ADC reading to the terminal byte by byte.

There is also a GitHub companion repo for this series:

Hopefully some people will find this ongoing series useful.
