Build your own (Rust-y) robot!
summary
Adapts an Arduino obstacle‑avoiding smart car to no-std Rust and actually runs — servo, ultrasonic sensor and motor driver all work in the demo. Uses an ATmega328P with 16 MHz clock, PWM for servos (center ≈1.5 ms → 24 ticks after prescale 1024), ultrasonic timing on a 16‑bit timer with the conversion distance = ticks / 58, and warns that timer 2 hardwired to PD3 and timers need correct widths so calculations match reality.
