Rust + LEDs = 💜. Rust empowers us to think at a high-level for low-level systems. Join me in how I made an LED cube with embedded Rust (no-std & no-alloc), and how you could too.
Rust + LEDs = 💜
Rust empowers us to think at a high-level for low-level systems.
Join me in how I made an LED cube with embedded Rust (no-std & no-alloc):
- Define LED layouts as geometric shapes like lines, grids, etc
- Write patterns like graphics shaders: compute colors for each LED based on position and other data
- Drive any any LED chipset, use traits as powerful abstractions
- All without any standard library or heap allocations
What would you make with LEDs and Rust?
