It’s for the RP2040. Never had a problem with it on Mac, but will make the judgement for WSL. If picotool is faster will just have to script the setup as it’s currently 3 commands to get it flashed (I really need to add the debug headers)

Will give this a try, thanks!

just going to have to commit the wip and eventually come back to it

Thanks!

It’s not quite ready for the easy install, you’ll have to have a full rust install and setup a config file, but I’m working on it to hopefully have it easy to install soon!

Git repo is github.com/domneedham/g...

First though is to make a message cancellable, I want to scroll the artist and name of the song currently playing, but skipping songs makes the MQTT message queue just backup so its just meh

I also really need to make the speaker work.. would enable things like doorbell notifications, washing machine finishing or anything a bit more alerting. I suppose for now though, home assistant can chime another speaker and then send a message to the display - *definitely not putting it off*

Those options are different modes of the board, each also selectable by the buttons on the side of the device.
Still undecided on what the fourth button should be though. I am part tempted to make it a quick action button, e.g. a user defined MQTT action or something to start an automation??

My favourite feature is the definitely the auto discovery, the ability to pre populate options is so nice and will "just work" for anyone who uses the firmware!

It’s certainly not perfect, but I’m pretty happy overall with it. My first big firmware project

Start of the thread

I really need to add a gif or something the repo lacks visual … will post back later

The main difference in purpose here though is the development of this is meant to be more flash and play, rather than any firmware editing! I’ve just about completed a web portal setup, though I’ve been stalled recently. Getting back into it soon though and finishing it off!

Seeing this thread makes me want to start writing about my firmware development with Rust! I’m building some firmware for the pimoroni galactic unicorn.

The goal (and it’s mostly there) is a smart home display for home assistant (but it’s MQTT so anything can use it)

The ability to turn something for X amount of time without automations or scripts would be great!
