How to setup a development environment for ardino based system development while working with this avr-hal

[Vilayat-Ali]

I usually use arduino IDE to write arduino sketchs as it provides easy interface to compile and load binary onto arduino.
What is the recommended development workflow for rust-based approach but with similar easy and direct utilities to compile, test and load binaries onto arduino board.

Hi,

my suggestion is to start a project using the avr-hal-template.

Then use your Rust IDE or text editor of choice to write your code. A normal cargo run (or the equivalent button in your IDE) should automatically deploy the program to a connected Arduino using our ravedude.

Just give it a try and if you get stuck, feel free to ask for help :)

@Rahix I wish to add a GPS arduino shield onto a UNO R3 board and then program everything with sweet Rust. However I dont know how to add library for that? Is there way I can work with existing libs for .ino or arduino sketches and then use it in my code using avr-hal-template?

No, you need a Rust library for your GPS module. If none exists, I'm afraid you'll have to build one yourself.

(Also, please open new discussions for new topics)
