Adafruit PyGamer Board Support Crate

This crate provides a type-safe API for working with the Adafruit PyGamer board.

Check out the repository for examples: https://github.com/atsamd-rs/atsamd/tree/master/boards/pygamer/examples

Prerequisites

  • Install the cross compile toolchain rustup target add thumbv7em-none-eabihf
  • Install hf2-cli the uf2 bootloader flasher tool however your platform requires
  • Be in this directory cd boards/pygamer
  • Put your device in bootloader mode usually by hitting the reset button twice.

Uploading an example: cargo run

The .cargo/config in this bsp is preset with hf2-cli as a runner. This means you can use cargo run to both cargo build and attempt to upload:

$ cargo run --release --example blinky_basic

Or even better just your ide's "run" button or hotkey and cargo run will build and upload.

troubleshooting

Note some examples will tell you they need more features enabled

$ cargo run --release --example neopixel_easing
error: target `neopixel_easing` in package `pygamer` requires the features: `math`
Consider enabling them by passing, e.g., `--features="math"`

Just follow the instructions to add --features like

cargo run --release --example neopixel_easing --features="math"
