Of course IPv6 multicast in rust embedded is a proper challenge

#RustLang #RustEmbedded #embedded #IPv6

I think I’ve got this sorted.

I can make the devices figure out their IPs as per IPv6.

Have a multicast group for general messages across the network.

Then setup a management interface to configure multicast groups.

I should make a testing app in @ratatui_rs that can visualise the network!

@voided watchya doing with multicast 👀

@arichtman crimes in the name of easy setup multi-room audio. I don’t want to have to deal with Linux so I’m just building little boards that can be either producers or consumers and then be configured accordingly.

A lounge setup with a speaker bar and satellites could be one group each with a number of small receiver amp boards. And the tv could have its audio out sent to a producer board to connect them.

@voided neat!
@arichtman yeah! It could be pretty useful for other things that need time synced data consumption like ad-hoc outdoor installations for cheap
@voided @dentangle is doing cool things in this space I hear...
