🦀 #WeekendRead for #rustlang folks
What makes a good hardware API in embedded Rust @thejpster shares practical insights from working on bare metal platforms – and where API design can introduce friction for developers.
A must-read if you’re building or using embedded Rust platforms: https://ferrous-systems.com/blog/hardware-access-rust/
🌱Energy app helps communities boost their own green power.
Researchers created the EU-funded @AURORA_H2020 app to let citizens track emissions and invest in local solar projects, helping communities cut carbon and support renewable power.

A school in Madrid is now powered by solar panels on its roof thanks to investments from local residents. People could put in as little as €20, yet together they raised almost €150 000.The crowdfunding campaign for the Palomeras school was part of AURORA, an EU-funded initiative that uses a simple smartphone app to help citizens track their energy use and invest in local clean energy projects.
Smart tech is recharging rural Europe.
@AURORAL_H2020, an EU-funded project bringing together 25 partners across 10 countries, built a shared digital backbone to help rural communities connect, share data and deliver smarter local services.

Getting children ready and on time for school can be stressful. In Finnish Lapland, where winters are long and snowy and some students travel long distances by bus, the challenge is even greater.In two Lapland communities, a school transport app developed through an EU-funded initiative called AURORAL has streamlined school bus pick-ups, reducing morning stress for parents and making life easier for bus drivers.

On a test track in southern Germany, engineers watch as an automated vehicle drives through simulated heavy rain. As the vehicle pushes through sheets of water and poor visibility, researchers are recreating one of the toughest sensing challenges for automated driving.“Bad weather is one of the situations the car will face, and the car must deal with that,” said Professor Werner Huber from the Technical University of Ingolstadt in Germany, home to world-leading testing facilities for autonomous vehicles in both real and virtual environments.
Having wires in your body isn’t ideal.
🧠That’s why META-BRAIN, an EU-funded initiative, took a different approach. Using nanotechnology and ultrasound, neurologists are finding wireless ways to interact with our brains.

For decades, treating serious brain disorders has often meant making a difficult trade-off. Symptoms could be relieved, but usually at the cost of invasive surgery and implanted electrodes that stay in the body for life. “Having wires in your body isn’t ideal,” said neuroscientist Mavi Sanchez-Vives, head of the Systems Neuroscience group at the IDIBAPS research institute in Barcelona, Spain. “Yet for many patients, it has been the only option.”
