Chips don't bite! An introduction to µController programming for Rusteaceans
summary
Claim: Rust runs on microcontrollers with the same ergonomics as desktop code and you can build real hardware projects without inventing drivers. The demo uses rp2040 + Raspberry Pi debug probe, flashes firmware with probe-rs and cargo, reads an SCD40 CO2 sensor driver from crates.io and combines it with an LED driver to change color based on CO2 levels, and the assembled setup actually runs and prints sensor values over the debug connection.
