Getting closer to Rust replacement for my Arduino LED code on ESP32. In addition to parallel outputs, I now have wifi, a web server, and very basic audio in. (I2S Audio with async DMA only works with git `esp-hal`, depending on some very recent not yet released enhancements)
Next steps for full parity: DDP in over UDP, key/value store in flash to preserve settings (eg save brightness), more advanced patterns, and hopefully using the second core.
