If you are interested, the write-up of the design improvements, what I learned, and what's to come is in this blog post. https://blog.galactic-forensics.space/blog/09-instrumentrs2-lakeshore336/17 Jul 2026 07:33 +0000at://did:plc:3ok7pjvcqroa6i6oaz6qcppz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqtadaw4d22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/galactic-forensics.space/post/3mq4owtmqcc2uThe 2026 Scientific Computing in Rust Workshop is starting this afternoon 🎉 Registration is still open, if you are curious to join scientificcomputing.rs/2026/register08 Jul 2026 08:23 +0000at://did:plc:3ok7pjvcqroa6i6oaz6qcppz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mq4owtmqcc2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/galactic-forensics.space/post/3mpauqklggs2bRegistered instrument.rs last night.

Firmware on the Pico2 as well as the interfacing software are written in Rust. The actual interface is based on Slint @slint.dev. #Rust #RustEmbedded25 Jun 2026 14:13 +0000at://did:plc:3ok7pjvcqroa6i6oaz6qcppz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mp4mgt64u22qhttps://bsky.app/profile/galactic-forensics.space/post/3mooanvveuc2qAre you still interested in writing drivers for (scientific) instruments in Rust? The second blog post discussing ideas and a first implementation on how to test such drivers is up now! As always, any feedback is more than welcome! #Rust https://blog.galactic-forensics.space/blog/08-instrumentrs2-mock-interface/19 Jun 2026 21:05 +0000at://did:plc:3ok7pjvcqroa6i6oaz6qcppz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mooanvveuc2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/galactic-forensics.space/post/3mnwrvwgxps2yDo you write/want to write drivers to communicate with (scientific) instruments in Rust? Check out my latest blog post on how to make this hopefully easier in the future.
