two microcontroller dev boards connected together haphazardly. messy.

why do i get into things that make me go mad

small progress each time though. so maybe worth it

I can't solder. fine. but the cycle of updating code, flash it (disconnect esp8266 cuz I'm using hardware uart which usb also uses, then reconnect).

being a newb doesn't help. let's see where this goes

This is truly the worst time to be unemployed, especially when you won't sacrifice your ethics for a paycheck. Sifting through all these job descriptions from companies with no interest in making the world a better place is such a brutal experience.

was inspecting frontend code for the part time role.

the frontend is so heavy. build got OOM on 2GiB (not sure if normal to need 3GiB to build, feels so big)

then have to wait 45 seconds for the thing to spin up fully

shouldn't chomp so many resources 🤔 then again I'm not an expert in FE

I wanted to integrate with less plugins, but I'm on the config I made when I started out with nvim which can def. be improved.

already on lspconfig which has now moved me towards native lsp cmds but still there for defaults

I'll go over config on weekend to tidy it up

thank you for the info!

nice. I'm using plain nvim lsp with mason, didn't know about rustaceanvim. will check fish with those plugins for a headstart. thanks!

With the AWS outage, now‘s as good a time as any to post this old strip.

nvim with rust-analyzer lsp

zsh since i got comfy with shortcuts and how i wanted it setup. have yet to try fish to see if i can move to it

not using any coding agent except claude on web to ask questions. helps me not overly rely on AI by having some friction to it's use

still a newb in intermediate rust so most of it just went over my head 😅

cool stuff. probably need to practice traits and stuff in real projects to get a hang of it.

was reading up esp-hal to see if i can use BLE instead for my project (currently use SPP with esp-idf C)

"how would it read? probably impl Read trait."

just one of the things that maybe make rust real nice to work with than C

there is some intuition backed by traits than just intuition alone (C)

i set hollow knight silksong's choral chamber ost as alarm, wake up every time now. it's such a good ost

fuck it.

@ratatui.rs running on Amazon Kindle

#rustlang #ratatui

lol thanks, but thank YOU (and all others) for maintaining ratatui 🦀

did you know my project got mentioned? ran around house giggling as if i won oscar

shared with everyone i know 😂

*takumi ae86 downshift noises*

amazing how I got to the point of my scanner tui due to engine rebuild

- car stalls on a cond.
- pay shops to scan+fix, no fix :(
- i get fed up after a year and take it into my hands
- elm327 no work
- pure luck i try vag kkl cable and protocol info on webarchive
- python proto!
- TUI cuz why not

switched jobs from a full-time to part-time, from being a plumber (fixing prefect flows) into a more interesting "platform eng/devEx" role

hopefully can learn useful stuff (and keep myself sane) with this role for bread-earning, and ofc mess with rust on the side until i get a rust job in future 😄

one side project i wanna do using @ratatui.rs

have python scripts (scraping etc)

i wanted to use them from my android phone and I tried using textual in termux long ago, but the lib's dependencies got wonky, no work

hopefully i can compile and run binary, and have working TUI

watch dogs style

Funny how my fav lang 🦀 has absolutely zero jobs in my country 🇵🇰

have to make side projects to keep myself happy and try to remain somewhat experienced (questionable) in it

on today's episode of learning embedded c

hmm old code works, new is not working.

was using wrong bitmask flag in one place. STUPID PIECE OF GARBAGE

well to be fair it was totally "my" mistake. logic error

YouTube video by Ben Eater How do aircraft systems communicate?

Ben Eater doing an overview of Arinc429 is definitely a surprise. A429 is one of those things that was a huge deal when I worked in avionics, but used basically nowhere else.

It's a fun little 32-bit-word differential serial protocol used in aircraft electronics :D

doing an "actual" embedded project now (automotive).

Using esp-idf framework. Writing (learning) in C.

Tried rust bindings but maybe skill-issue that I got a lot friction trying to make it work with bluetooth classic

trying to port my scanner code into an esp32.

wanted to use rust, but settled with ESP-IDF as a way to learn a bit of C.

plan on trying to redo it in rust with rust wrappers for esp-idf, but wasn't able to find a straightforward way to use Bluetooth classic (most eamples/support is BLE only)

The edited version of my talk/workshop is now available! 🥳🎉

🦀 Building Embedded TUIs with Rust & Ratatui

🇯🇵 Tokyo Rust Meetup 2025

▶️ Watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=F04k...

#rustlang #ratatui #tokyorust #meetup #workshop #embedded #esp32

image of scanner app on stereo.

finally settled on a layout and feature list.

Only thing left are:
- stabilize fuel consumption error rate
- DTC support (history + current)

other than that, this project is complete.

two images, left image shows scanner reading of 33.1 litres of fuel use. Right image shows station's reading when filling to full, which is 31.89 litres.

after a couple of corrections, my car scanner now reports ~+4% fuel use than actual.

Not having to rely on estimating fuel gauge is really helpful.

Technology | 2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey Each year we explore the tools and technologies developers are currently using and the ones they want to use.

Rust was once again named the most admired programming language in the Stack Overflow #DevSurvey! 🦀

Great to see Cargo, Rust’s package manager, also mentioned as one of the most loved tools—a strong signal that thoughtful, dependable tooling matters.

Another Sunday, another release day.
New version of git-cliff is out! 🥳💯

#rustlang #git_cliff #cli

fuel consumption data added to my project. Not too accurate but it's still marked unstable

- fuel (instant consumption, total used, fuel consumption in L/100km)
- distance travelled

next up:
- DTCs
- context aware load gauge (red when lugging, or flashing)
- smol speaker for (above, overheat etc)

that's me 😄
