Embedded Rust on the Raspberry Pi Pico - From Blink to Sensors and Motors Without Prior Embedded Experience #1010803

The Raspberry Pi Pico costs eight dollars. It has a dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ at 125 MHz, 264 KB of RAM, and enough GPIO to build almost anything a beginner would want. This book is the guide to programming it in Rust, from the first blink to a complete data logger.

No prior embedded experience is assumed. Through seventeen chapters you install the toolchain, blink an LED, read a button without bounce, fade an LED with PWM, sample a voltage with the ADC, talk to sensors over I2C and SPI, handle interrupts, and write your first async program with Embassy. Along the way you learn the traps that send most beginners back to Arduino: blocking in interrupt handlers, missing pull-up resistors, and skipping the LED when you should have used it. Written for anyone who has heard Rust is worth learning and wants a project that actually turns on.
