Scott Mabin is joining Espressif full time to work on Rust support for all of Espressif’s chips, past, present and future!
The forked compiler with esp support has been moved into the esp-rs organisation, along with some idf support crates – more on that shortly! Discussions on GitHub have been enabled on the esp-rs/rust repository, and for the last month Espressif have been hosting weekly community meetings focusing on pushing Rust support forward. If you’d like to discuss something and attend, drop a comment in the latest thread and request an invite!
@ivmarkov been working very hard on porting the Rust STD library to esp-idf, the C based development environment for Espressif chips. esp-idf has a newlib environment which can be used to build the Rust library on top of. @ivmarkov has put together rust-esp32-std-hello demo repo to show off the capabilities, which include WiFi, threads and driving a display using the esp-idf‘s drivers.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
