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.

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.

I built a working automated dry chamber with an Arduino and a thermoelectric wine cooler and want to make the project open source.
Another cool thing you may want to try is making a simulator https://wokwi.com/

Help Needed with Tauri Desktop App for NFC Card Enrollment on ESP32
For the ESP32 in read mode, we've successfully developed a project using PlatformIO that accepts the key during build time and stores it in memory.

It's 2023 why embedded development is so cumbersome?(rant)
Check out Zephyr OS and Platform IO. Zephyr is part of the Linux foundation and has similarities to Linux with how it performs hardware abstraction (device tree). Platform IO integrates with other frameworks including mbed and Arduino.
- Is there an extension in vs code to do embedded programming

Debug program using PlatformIO and avr-stub
PlatformIO together with avr-stub can be used to do source level debugging but there are some caveats.
-
Do you know some sbc or soc that can be programed to run rtos and c++ on top?
Look into https://platformio.org/, it can abstract over a few RTOSes, and can show you which OSes work with which chips/boards.

Newbie question on identifying board in IDE
If the HW looks like it works, you could also try alternate programming software. (e.g. TinyGo or PlatformIO)
-
Issue with Adafruit ESP32-S3: COM port switching, etc.
You might have better luck with PlatformIO than the Arduino IDE; it's better at automatically choosing the serial port, though I can't say I've used it under Windows.

Made some progress on the Chessboard this week
My other suggestion takes more work but will make your life oh so much better. Professionally I have used and highly recommend. https://platformio.org/ which is free!

Ask HN: Best books to learn embedded systems?
Will you be doing embedded Linux? Embedded RTOS? Bare metal? Microcontrollers? SoC (say, FPGA with a hard processor core)?
You can do a lot with QEMU. https://bootlin.com/ has a lot of great, free training material.
https://bootlin.com/doc/training/embedded-linux-qemu/embedde...
is one of my favorites.
Learning to cross-compile, do embedded debugging, the process of booting an embedded system (which varies depending on the answers to the above questions), learning how to read a technical reference for the processor you’re using as well as for peripherals you’re likely to interact with - SPI, i2c, UART, maybe PCIe, are all handy skills. Learn a bit about JTAG, hardware, reading schematics, etc. Even being able solder is helpful.
There may be books (I had a great embedded Linux book when I started) but there are lots of online materials too. Check out https://platformio.org/
There are fun embedded boards and projects for microcontrollers too - micropython on an rpi pico, tinygo, eLua, etc.
