How to program an Arduino using Rust (on macOS)

In plain words

This resource provides guidance on programming Arduino microcontrollers using the Rust programming language, specifically tailored for macOS users. It offers developers an alternative to traditional Arduino C++ development, enabling those who prefer Rust's safety features to work with Arduino hardware. The guide covers the setup and workflow needed to develop Arduino projects on macOS using Rust, appealing to embedded systems developers and Rust enthusiasts looking to work with microcontrollers.

I have a confession to make – in all honesty, I’m not much of a hardware hacker. In my teens, whenever I got home from school, I gravitated more often to coding (or video games) than soldering or robotics. But I spent a lot of my childhood playing with Snap Circuits and redstone circuits in Minecraft, so I can appreciate the charm. You’re automating things - taking small atoms and combining them into something bigger. Just like code can be written to do whatever you want, so can hardware – and there’s something more visceral to it since your creations takes up space in the real world. I dig that. In an effort to challenge myself (and have a bit of fun), I recently picked up an Arduino , and…from rybicki.io

  I'm making a dynamic language in Rust2022 · github.com · ▲184

  An implementation of a dynamic programming language in Rust. Includes: Parser/Compiler, REPL, Virtual Machine, Bytecode Disassembler This started out as a learning project to teach myself Rust. It has grown into a decently substantial piece of software and I've learned quite a bit in the process! Some neat things: + A garbage collector that can store dynamically sized types without any double-indirection (i.e. I have my own Box implementation with manual alloc/dealloc) + The smart pointer used to reference GCed data is a thin pointer. The ptr metadata needed for DSTs is stored in…

  Python at the Speed of Rust2025 · blog.fxn.ai · ▲68

  I’m sure many of you are familiar, but there’s a treacherous gap between finding (or building) a model that works in PyTorch, and getting that deployed into your application, especially in consumer-facing applications. I’ve been very interested in solving this problem with a great developer experience. Over time, I gradually realized that the highest-impact thing to have was a way to go from existing Python code to a self-contained native binary—in other words, a Python compiler. I was already pretty familiar with a successful attempt: when Apple introduced armv8 on the iPhone 5s, they…

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
