Blinking an LED on a raspberry pi using rust_gpiozero

Hi all,

I am the author of the rust_gpiozero crate. It is a port of the python GPIOZero library from the Raspberry Pi foundation using the rust programming language. It provides a simple interface to GPIO devices.

I created a sample project based on the balena-rust-hello-world by the balena team.

The project blinks an LED attached to pin 17 on a raspberry pi. It also uses service variables to configure the blinking settings, i.e the number of seconds to stay on or off.

The project can be found here:

Using balena to build rust projects is just awesome. I am thinking of using this workflow to further develop rust_gpiozero!

Let me know if you find this project helpful and would like to see more rust projects! Any suggestions to improve the project are more than welcome. I am also learning along the way!

Thanks,
Rahul
