Welcome to my mega 🧵 on getting started with Rust on the RP2040! This thread aims to get you started with writing Rust on the Raspberry Pi Pico. The actual end result will just be a blinking on-board LED. It’s up to YOU to take this foundation and make awesome projects from it.
Hey👋
I have a goal to write a blog post every month this year. I’m going to use this 🧵 to link all the ones I’ve written so far and future ones.

I’ve seen a couple of others like this and finally got one myself. This is a scam. Bluesky would not contact you like this if your account is suspended. I believe they mostly use email for this and it would be very apparent as you use the app if you’re suspended.

Yeah I just read through a new thing that is going to change everything for devs. It's going to be a good year to be a dev in the atmosphere
I think the atmosphere dev ecosystem is going to be pretty exciting this fall/winter.

So if you know anyone hiring in the areas of trust & safety / decentralized social, even contract work, let me know.
I've extensive experience with Node.js and building complex projects, especially on the architecture side. I also have Rails and React experience.

repo-stream v0.2 is outttttt
- interleaved block loading/walking is out (no point)
- spilling to disk for huge CARs is in!
you can process really large CARs without proportionally growing memory usage, at around 1M records/sec.

Still collecting these. Don't be shy if you have a question.
I'm going to try a new AMAA(ask me anything atproto) format! I am going to collect 3-5 atproto questions and answer them on a leaflet next week. So feel free to comment, DM, or use @navyfragen.app to send them to me! All questions are welcome, and there are no silly/dumb questions.

First bit of interactivity! Spent the weekend refactoring most of the code from the last two weeks, significantly improving the responsiveness of the keypad hander and simplifying the drivers. Now it’s all integrated with the embedded-graphics crate for consistent color typing.
