Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Embedded Rust Education: 2023 Reflections & 2024 Visions
Inspired by James Munns's call, and as 2023 is coming to an end, I figure it's a good opportunity to reflect and look forward to 2024. It's been a bit over 1.5 years since I embarked on my embedded Rust journey and it's been nothing less than exciting since. So here it goes.

In search of Rust projects to contribute
Because you are an embedded guy. There is the https://github.com/rust-embedded/wg working-group. Rust on embedded is really on a got track forward. There are many chips/vendors that are supported both in no std / std rust world, but still there is a lot of niche things where you can actively help to be the first to get it run in Rust.

Rust – Are We Game Yet?
To specifically answer your question, here:
* <http://www.areweembeddedyet.com/>
It currently redirects to:
* <https://rust-embedded.org>
Which doesn't really contain anything other than a link to <https://github.com/rust-embedded>.
(via <https://github.com/rust-embedded/wg/issues/15>)

Google announce secure Rust-based OS for embedded system
Then the Rust Embedded workgroup provides: - Direction on how to using generics and zero-sized types to achieve functional safety - svd2rust, which provides safe abstractions to peripheral access from SVD files and achieves this functional safety - The embedded HAL spec, which makes porting to different vendors/hardware easy - Peripheral access controllers and HALs for various vendors & hardware
-
What are your guys' thoughts on Rust?
The Rust Embedded Devices Working Group curates a list of useful embedded Rust resources, including Peripheral Access Crates (autogenerated from SVD files), embedded-hal Implementation Crates (hand-written libraries implementing the traits (interfaces) specified by the embedded-hal), and Board Support Crates.

Question about Rust's binary size
You should also look at https://github.com/rust-embedded/wg/issues/41 and https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/55011#issuecomment-429336055.

Things you can’t do in Rust (and what to do instead)
Here's an interesting discussion, consolidated here. My view is you should use a restricted scope atomic (as best as can be supported) and interact with that through a handler struct. I.e. no global state.
- Semantic Versioning Will Not Save You
- Is there a embedded community/website where it is modern?
-
Would it be possible to run Rust on the new Raspberry Pi Pico?
Most of the issues are explained in EWG RFC 419. The TL;DR is that some resources need to implement Send to be usable from interrupts, but they must not be sent across cores.

Getting into Robotics as a Software Engineer
No, no - I have a half a dozen RPi's of varying revisions. Since they run Linux and the SDcards are less than robust, anytime you accidentially trip the power (which to me happens several times during hardware debugging sessions) you risk scrambling the rootfs and thus need to reflash a new SDcard. Some SDcards get damaged.
I recommend using Arduino and/or Wokwi (https://wokwi.com/) to get started.

Embedded Rust Education: 2023 Reflections & 2024 Visions
More Wokwi Integration: Wokwi is an amazing embedded simulator and is great for getting started quickly. For a learner, there's no need for toolchain setup or even the purchase of hardware. There are many features as well that make it quite a flexible tool supporting a lot of features right from the browser. Users can also vote for more features. Still maybe at some point, one might want to tinker with physical hardware. However, at that point, they would have gained some confidence first. Currently, only ESP boards are supported with Rust on Wokwi. I hope for the variety to expand soon.

Need advice on Arduino projects and programming
In addition to the other great suggestions here I wanted to point out that you can practice and learn a lot for free using an online simulator such as wokwi.com and tinkercad.com (among others)! And you don't have to buy an Arduino or any parts to get started!

Arduino calender clock project
And you can prototype all of this first to get it working for free using an online simulator at sites like wokwi.com or tinkercad.com!

How do I get better at Low level programming
If you don't have the budget for real hardware consider the simulator at https://wokwi.com/ It works with Rust (at least for ESP32, haven't tried other architectures). Bonus: you can't blow up the electronics by a wiring mistake.

Have many folks played around with Chatgpt and FastLED?
I spent a bit of time today with a few FastLED programs and uploaded them to wokwi.com on a simulated Arduino Nano and a WS2812 strip of 64 LED's (not in a 2D matrix). The chatgpt requests I made were:

Jumperless: Breadboard Without Jumper
https://tinyurl.com/yr34sym6
https://wokwi.com/ is great for simple, digital only stuff.
https://fritzing.org/ will kind of lay out the PCB for you, but it's kind of a pain in the ass.
Wokwi and Fritzing are more "Breadboard Simulators" than real circuit simulators, but they do have their place.
