I've recently been working on a fun project that should be a useful general-utility CLI app that can parse GTFS data for arbitrary transit providers (so long as they publish GTFS data!). I would like to roll this project into a bigger one for displaying timestables on an actual display.
I've made leaps and bounds of progress on this project once I decided to start a bit smaller!
Rather than being a bit over-ambitious, which is learning rust without much foundation on a relatively new embedded system (ESP32-C3) with relatively little documentation (it's vastly improved since my last blog post). I readjusted my ambitions and settled on a more realistic goal of getting it all to run on a raspberry pi.
I've started on a fun little art project based losely off of noisebridge's Flaschen Taschen and c-base's Mate-Light.
My twist on the project is that it will be an ambient light that reacts to traffic on the local network (and maybe even the wide area network).
