Fun #esp32 trick (on the s3 at least) - you can force it into download mode without having access to the GPIO0 wire; there's a RTC_CNTL_FORCE_DOWNLOAD_BOOT bit. In #rustlang with the esp-hal it looks like:
// force download mode after the reboot

#rustlang 's 'as' keyword in it's use clause is nice when you want to use your local spelling:
use smart_leds::{colors as colours, SmartLedsWrite};
(and esp-hal-smartled works nicely using the esp's RMT (remote control unit) to drive the LEDs rather than bitbanging)).

Wanted to follow #RustLang

Always grateful for the new levels of stability and reliability that #RustLang rewrites of #Python stuff bring.

Right, my hacky #esp32 #rustlang code can now send key strokes over usb; I'm doing it synchronously and using usbd_hid; which is working OK (I need to add some debounce).
Hmm but not terrible.

Isn't it great when you spend half an hour dealing with the fallout of some cool kid deciding it would be great if a totally random pure #Python package required a build backend written in #RustLang?
