In the future, I want to start building battery powered projects, so understanding power consumption becomes critical. In this post, I will explore deep sleep power consumption on the ESP32-C6 board using Rust with Embassy and Esp-hal. Beyond simply putting the board to sleep, I’ll also examine the key factors that affect deep sleep current on this board, such as providing the correct voltage to the battery pin.
To sharpen my Rust skills for embedded systems, I embarked on creating a project that uses Discord (and soon MQTT) to receive commands for network tasks. Users can monitor devices, perform network scans, execute pings, send WOL packets and get alerts when applications running on edge devices fail.
Today I will share my journey of preparing a working environment to develop Rust for Espressif boards. Discover how I made the decision to work with Rust for embedded systems, a language known for its safety, speed, and reliability. I’ll also guide you through the process of preparing your development environment, like installing necessary tools, and configuring your workspace to program Rust in VS Code using Docker Dev Containers.
