Continuing with running Rust on the PX-HER0. In this post I start reading
button inputs as well as starting an abstraction layer to make working with
buttons and LEDs easier.
The PX-HER0 is an STM32-based board designed for learning embedded development. Since I've been
so interested in this area for a long time I decided to pick one up and get Rust running on it!
This entry was originally one I posted on my work blog in response to someone posting a blog
post titled "Let's Talk About Mental Health..." to their own work blog. It talked about their
struggle with depression and I was really moved by seeing someone being open about their own
mental health issues. I think it's important to be open about the topic, so I started writing a
comment on their post about my own experiences. As I was writing it, though, I realized it was
getting long and I should just post it to my own blog because I didn't want to distract from
theirs.
Wow... So it's... Uh... Been a LONG TIME! For a long time I've felt like I don't have anything
worth posting here but recently I've had a few ideas for some blog posts and I feel like I'm
finally in a place where I have the motivation to actually write them. A lot of it came from
depression and how that wrecks people, but now I'm taking steps to make that better (more on
that to come).
