I found the generics a lot less of a problem when I realized I could parametrize on things like embedded_hal::serial::Write instead of UsartOps https://github.com/Rahix/avr-hal/pull/264/commits/17ed15321cb8fcf8aedb1f8133be1f189eb06a6f

I've come across avr-rust, avr-hal and both seem to have arduino stuff, wondering which is the most beginner friendly? (I have a bit of experience with the regular arduino IDE but want to switch over to doing all the stuff in rust for a challenge)

fyi, a minor follow-up at https://github.com/Rahix/avr-hal/issues/388

I have contributed a little to this. avr-hal I have done a couple little hobby projects with it as well, but I can't say it's the best thing out there.

All you need is in the documentation: https://rahix.github.io/avr-hal/arduino_hal/index.html even though reading the documentation without knowing what you're looking for can be quite difficult, so looking at some examples might be more helpful.

Rust language shares all advantages of efficient C++ code. With the rust community growing year after year, more and more people try using rust to program their Arduino boards. Consequently, the Arduino Rust ecosystem have significantly developed in the last couple of years. The Hardware Abstraction Layer for AVR microcontrollers avr-hal, Rudino library and ravedude CLI utility to make Rust development for AVR microcontrollers easier are just a few examples of the solid foundation developed so far.

Today I was toying with the arduino again, making an attached LED matrix print awesome messages better than it previously had. I wanted to use millis() found in the examples in the unsurpassed avr-hal crate, to orchestrate the duration it should show (part of) a character before moving on. But that is all besides the point. I made a few mistakes that coincidentally compiled and as such made me believe I was doing things right. (Perhaps I should note here that I am visually impaired so it is a bit easier for me to glance over smaller differences.)

There's a blink example in the repo for the avr-hal crate.

I'm trying to make an Arduino display text on an LCD using I2C (HD44780). So far, I've used arduino-hal from the avr-hal crate (github.com/Rahix/avr-hal) to program the Arduino, and I wonder if anyone happens to know of a library/crate which is compatible with it? So far I've only found ag-lcd which doesn't seem to work with I2C.

ExcelJS and XLSX (SheetJS) are great libraries to work with XLSX files. The former I've found a bit easier to work with but less efficient in general.

Sure. I manipulate excel files programatically in the browser all the time. I don't really understand your exact workflow, but I use Javascript with xlsx and React.

Looking at the xlsx documentation, to parse files in the browser, rather than readFile, you use read, which is designed to parse binary data directly, rather than read from disk. There are a bunch of different formats if you go to the XLSX NPM page and scroll down to "Acquiring and Extracting Data". Importantly, it seems the data must already be serialized, so a Blob won't work, but we can work with that.

Last year, Bing and Edge erroneously flagged our website https://sheetjs.com/ as "dangerous": https://i.imgur.com/BvA3zrk.png

At the time, there was no "Safety Report" to indicate why Bing thought it was dangerous. The report page linked to https://www.bing.com/toolbox/bing-site-safety?url=https%3a%2... and it said "That web page doesn't exist"

To fix it, we had to register with "Bing Webmaster Tools" (https://www.bing.com/webmasters/about) and raise a support ticket.

Within a few days, the issue "resolved itself". It's possible that raising a ticket forced some automatic refresh of the indexed data for the domain.
