    egui port to Car Thing (and maybe an alternative Car Thing UI?) (by null-dev)

  • egui is a framework for building UI apps written in Rust. I have ported it to the Car Thing. Linked is a video demo. The code is here: https://github.com/null-dev/tt

  • lvgl

    Embedded graphics library to create beautiful UIs for any MCU, MPU and display type.

  • I chose egui because it is performance, efficiency and reliability focused. It does not have a lot of focus on aesthetics though. If you really want to build awesome looking apps, lvgl (just check out those demos, they are gorgeous!) may be a better choice.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • car-thing-buildroot

    Partial buildroot for the Spotify Car Thing

  • For compiling stuff I've assembled a partial buildroot you can find here: https://github.com/null-dev/car-thing-buildroot. The buildroot gives me a full cross-compilation toolchain so I can compile whatever I want as long as I have all the env variables setup to point at the buildroot.
