I have done some small experiments (not much beyond a blinking light at this point) and I feel that the main issue right now for a beginner is that the documentation isn’t there yet. By far.
Also I have read that many of the crates that use the same bus don’t play well with each other (e.g. two devices on the same i2c bus) even though that is what embedded-hal is supposed to be all about. Many early crates are also abandoned apparently, further compounding this problem. I don’t have enough personal experience though to tell if this is true.
Yeah finding crates has also been my issue. Ive done HAL on a raspberry pi and it has been fairly painless, but Im still strugggling to get my head around no_std convensions on bare metal chips… Also last I checked I couldnt figure out more advanced stuff like connectivity where I think Rust will really shine
