09:51 <M9names[m]> some people prefer dedicated delay, some the borrow for every function.

09:51 <M9names[m]> with a cloneable Delay source like embedded-time or rp2040-hal's Timer it's not really a trade off against burning through timers, because you're sharing 1 peripheral that you've already dedicated to that purpose anyway.

13:19 <ryan-summers[m]> Man, I picked up an embedded rust project I started on originally 6 years ago and its wild how much tooling has improved. I had a ton of old hacky jlink/bash/openocd scripts that barely worked, and I wiped all of that and started with embassy in like 30 minutes with defmt, probe-rs, and friends and it works like a charm. Wildly better than the bringup on any of the C projects I've had lately

13:20 <ryan-summers[m]> and things like embedded-hal-bus and friends are quite nice to use as well. I suspect it would have been more painful if I didn't know what tools to use though

13:22 <ryan-summers[m]> Trying to make some little remote sensor stuff to monitor my bonsai trees at home. Planning on plugging either defmt RTT output or some BLE messages into influxdb + grafana for visualization later unless someone has better recommendations

14:06 <JamesMunns[m]> Does it have USB?

14:07 <ryan-summers[m]> Right now it does because I'm just using a dev board. Debating having it be solar powered and hiding it somewhere though

14:08 <ryan-summers[m]> Would ideally not have cabling all over my windowsill

14:08 <ryan-summers[m]> Trying to engineer aerial roots into my ficuses ;)
