00:38 <StephenD[m]> In rtic is there a simple way to create some kind of timer or time structure?

00:38 <StephenD[m]> Basically I want to track how long it's been since a certain event has happened

00:43 <StephenD[m]> aha! looks like monotonics::now() is what I was missing

08:53 <ryan-summers[m]> Is there a way to `write!()` into a `&mut [u8]` and then get the resulting size of the formatted bytes? The `embedded_io::Write` trait doesn't seem to do that because it ends up returning a `Result<(), _>`

09:05 <ryan-summers[m]> I opened https://github.com/rust-embedded/embedded-hal/pull/502 to update the embedded_io functions to return the length of bytes written

11:57 <dirbaio[m]> ooh write! into an embedded-io stream

11:57 <dirbaio[m]> I didn't even realize that was possible 🤣
