Shawn HymelNew embedded #Rust video is out! I cover test-driven development (#TDD) by showing how to use Rust's built-in test framework with the sensor library we wrote in a previous episode. Check it out!

As a hobby thing I'm trying to code Conway's Game of Life for an Adafruit RP2040 + HDMI stick I got recently and it has me wondering what could be done with making the cells different shapes: hexagons, triangles, anything else that fits neatly in each other, what other cool shapes and behaviors can you get with similar conditions?
I wish my ADHD would actually let me work consistently on this, this has been a fun thought experiment of how to structure this

do you like those number sliding puzzles? Do you have a #Pimoroni #Presto to hand?
Then here is a simple single-file python app for you!

ChristianSo, what’s better for nighttime/headlights-on mode? Top and bottom rows permanently on, middle section comes on for brakes? Or middle section permanently on and top and bottom come on for brakes?

FozzTexxMade a cartridge for the #FujiNet #PicoROM prototype. All data is transferred over the bus, it doesn't plug into the serial port in the back of the CoCo. As a prototype it's still missing things and has to be plugged into a computer which is what the USB-C connector is sticking out of the top. #RaspberryPiPico #RetroComputing #VintageComputing #TRS80CoCo
Wolf in PDXI have a Raspberry Pi Pico I need to figure out how to use. I want to turn it into some kind of programmable LED strip thing. I have an addressable light strand, I think. I just want to be able to plug it in to USB power, a wall wart, and then be able to change the colors with my phone or with OpenRGB on my computer. Or better yet, with my Google speaker.
Derek RobsonI have written a simple HTTP example for pi pico 2 w
Most of the examples on the internet are broken, wrong, limited, overly complex.
Time for another #Rust video! This time, I show how lifetimes and lifetime annotations work. They come up a lot when working with embassy, so it's useful to know what that 'a means.

Matt GumbleyI don’t think there’s any obvious way to detect whether a client program has connected to a TinyUSB CDC interface. During bring-up, I don’t want to start the emulator until its diagnostic port is being viewed. Can sense when the Pico is plugged into the host, but can’t sense when minicom is connected. (but, still, progress)
Any ideas?
