My very shiny new toy just arrived: Saleae Logic MSO (Mixed Signal Oscilloscope)… Now I will be able to use logic analyser and oscilloscope in the same beautiful integrated tool! 🤗🤩

VSCode disassembling generated WebAssembly code from a Swift breakpoint.

I don’t get why Anthropic hasn’t used Claude Code to rewrite their bloated Electron app as native. Should be much easier than a C compiler.

Launching the 2025 State of Rust Survey | Rust Blog Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

It is time for the annual State of Rust Survey! 📝✨️️

Whether you've just begun using Rust, are an experienced Rust user, stopped using Rust, or might use Rust in the future, we'd like to hear from you! 🦀

Available in ten languages and open until December 17th: blog.rust-lang.org/2025/11/17/l...

For this one, I’ve already solved the problem with the ST7789 and Parallel Bus using Rust and Embassy! 😊

Now, we just need @pimoroni.com and @github.com to give us that beautiful board to play with hehe.

Espressif hired a bunch of Rust devs years ago and they have been quietly doing great work supporting Rust on their chips ever since. Still haven’t seen any other chip companies get close.

developer.espressif.com/blog/2025/10...

I will open the code, just don’t do it now because I am in the middle of the mess, but the nice thing is: it will work for any board and that can make use of I2C (preferably using Qw/ST connectors), like all those boards from Pimoroni with no connectivity.

Really, really nice one!!
Currently I am working to bring Wi-Fi connectivity to the Tufty 2040 via I2C using another amazing board, the Adafruit Qt Py ESP32-S2. It is being full of challenges, but I am learning a lot!

Then get one, because that little devil is fascinating! I am playing with it using Rust and embassy-rs

Hopefully @github.com will do the same thing they did last year selling the badge afterwards 😁

Don’t Stream Fascism: Cancel Spotify

Badges: assembled. Energy: 🔥
Tomorrow we go live at GitHub Universe—keynotes, demos, EDU-friendly sessions, and yes… a programmable badge.
🎟️ Free virtual pass + schedule → gh.io/AAy5upq

Really nice to know that this year at GitHub Universe, the hackable badge is a customized version of @pimoroni.com Tufty, but in this case, instead of based on RP2040, now it is RP2350.

@pimoroni.com something is wrong with the Pimoroni Discussion feed, the last update was 19 days ago 😢

I finished up another in my "Concurrency Step-by-Step" series. This one is about everyone's favorite: protocols!

It also has a sneak peek for a super-secret idea I'm really excited about: regular old classes.
