Also did a RENEGADE https://arthack.nz SHOW during a lunch break:

- 🎶 Music: @noiseissues aka DESTROY WITH SCIENCE with #Eurorack #synthesizer controlled by Rasberry Pi sequencer written in Rust.
- 🌈 Visuals: https://www.jackvpurvis.com aka Visor using https://visor.live/ written in Rust.
- 🧊 LEDs: My cube using https://blinksy.dev in #embedded Rust.

Music and visuals created #live, everything powered by #rustlang.

🦾 Why Lua Beats MicroPython for Serious Embedded Devs

｢ Lua isn’t just compatible with embedded systems; the Lua ANSI C library was designed for them. Its architecture is clean, compact, and deterministic.

MicroPython, on the other hand, is a reimplementation of Python 3. It works well for many embedded use cases, but it inherits assumptions from a desktop-oriented language ｣

I've been working on improving the rudimentary support for firmware update deltas that has existed in NervesHub for a long time. There are some PRs still in flight but the support is becoming less rudimentary by the day 😊

Woohoo, 3D-native LED animations! 🙆

Made with unreleased version of https://blinksy.dev, a Rust LED library for embedded micros. 🟥 🟩 🟦

Nerves is an IoT framework that includes a lot of embedded best practices in the fundamental design. A/B partitions, using Erlang for your init system, watchdogs, a robust approach to networking, signed firmware delivery, streaming firmware, minimal OS surface area.

The only general-audience talk I've given on Nerves focused on updating firmware/software and covers some of it:

Finally kicked off the development phase of this short IoT contract at @limeleaf@social.coop . I'm mainly building out the cloud service to show device inventory, their state, and data upload flow. I also get to advise the implementation of the embedded side from a security perspective.

I've built this a few times before on top of AWS IoT which is why we got the contract. Methinks we should advertise this skill more.

I spoke at Oredev trying to explain and introduce Nerves to a general audience.
If you've been looking for something to show people that should be interested in Nerves for doing cool stuff with hardware and Elixir I'd love if you share it around. My previous talk at Oredev seems to have been fairly widely shared which was a fun surprise.

Expect good wallpaper and handwriting!
