The Rest of the Keyboard

This is going to be somewhat reminscent of that owl meme. I had plans for some more posts about a new codec abstraction, my async STM32 IO crate, and maybe the overall architecture, but one thing led to another, and now I have a complete project to talk about. I'll give an overview of the main points of interest so that the other rust/embedded posts aren't required reading. I'm also kind of writing to two audiences here, so if you're a Rust person, but not a keeb person, feel free to skip stuff and vice-versa.

Building an Embedded Futures Executor II

Part 2 of my embedded executor journey!

Part 1 ended up getting a little long, so I cut it short while still missing some key features like more flexible task spawning and putting the executor to sleep when there's nothing needing to be polled. This time, we'll fill in those gaps!

Building an Embedded Futures Executor

Custom keyboard development part 3!

After discovering that the embedded-hal ecosystem wasn't quite what I wanted it to be, I set out to build the abstractions that I wanted to use, namely: async-first and core::future compatible. The first thing on the list? A way to run the Futures of course!

Side note: My project's landing page has got some more content these days!

Embedded Rust Frustrations

Part 2 of my custom keyboard project!

I didn't mean for this to become its own post, but it kind of got away from me. I've had a blast getting my feet wet in embedded dev so far with Rust, but it hasn't been without its share of headaches. I'm sure most of my problems can be attributed to my lack of experience in this realm, but hopefully I'll be able to turn my frustrations into something interesting by parts 3 and 4!

Part 1 can be found here: Bootstrapping My Embedded Rust Development Environment

Bootstrapping My Embedded Rust Development Environment

After watching James Munns' Something for Nothing talk at RustConf about all of the cool things in the embedded Rust world that have been going on, I decided to take a crack at some embedded work. I built an ErgoDox a while back and already had some basic understanding of how its keyboard controller operates, so I thought "why not design my own keyboard?"
