Sensors, Servos, and Signals with Rust
summary
Rust runs on a Tessel microcontroller and drives LEDs, relays, servos and sensors over SPI/I2C while using cargo cross‑compilation and type‑safe crates. The demo shows a blinking LED, 14 lines to read an accelerometer via I2C at ~100 kHz, a climate sensor controlling a relay to cool a room, and a 20-line servo + BLE demo that unlocks or flips a switch. Rust’s ownership prevents concurrent pin misuse and aims for zero‑cost abstractions on constrained devices.
