Wrote up a very niche discovery I made this morning. Might be useful to other #rust/#rustlang #ethercat nerds.

My solar install passed its state electrical inspection, and I have the inverters integrated into the control system over #EtherCAT. There's a few more commissioning steps to do yet, last of which is getting the local utility to verify the anti-islanding function works as advertised, but this subproject is almost done.

Just released #ethercrab 0.5. A small release with some churn from a bunch of renames, along with #freebsd/#netbsd support!

100us on the Pi 5 too! Consistent even with a cargo build going on in the background.

#rustlang #ethercat

Validating XDP support for my #rustlang #ethercat controller. 100us cycle times on a crappy Intel Atom!

But… So many devices. Too many devices. Please send me more though.
