For a long time I was thinking about doing something in Rust. I have a thing for oldschool electronics, especially monochromatic interfaces and oled displays. I also always wanted to do something with SDR radio, and I live near airport, so... flight radar, of course!

You can read more about it here: https://codeberg.org/dawiidio/rs-flight-radar . This is also my first repo on Codeberg, since I'm moving away from big tech solutions and decided I will no longer host my code on GitHub.

Writing something in Rust, especially for embedded, was... I wanted to say fun, but maybe interesting is a better word to describe my experiences. I've learned a lot, it was challenging, especially because at first I had really huge problems with setting up env, ESP-IDF issues, which framework to choose, embassy or not etc. I'll write more in upcoming post, this one is just a quick summary, wanted to share it already since it was on my todo list as a checkpoint :D

I'm waiting for feedback!
