Some questions about rust_gpiozero HOT 8 OPEN

This is from the README.md. So like is this crate using gpiozero as the backend or is rust_gpiozero a complete rewrite and it uses its own thing?

This rust crate is inspired by the python GPIOZero package. It's only dependency is rppal for peripheral access.

Does this crate support all the devices as gpiozero supports?

A number of common devices are currently supported, but not everything. Have a look at the examples directory for some ideas.

Also is this project still continuing?

Yes.

is this using embedded-hal by any chance?

Not currently, though support for it is a planned feature: https://github.com/rahul-thakoor/rust_gpiozero#features

@dcroote By bringing in embedded-hal, what benefit does it bring to gpio-zero?

from rust_gpiozero.

The Embedded Rust Book chapter on Portability provides a nice overview and arguments for it.

@dcroote This wouldn't affect the api/syntax of rust_gpiozero?

from rust_gpiozero.

Possibly, but without having spent more time assessing how it could be supported I cannot say either way.

@dcroote Ah right mate.

But if embedded-hal was supported, then would it also be able to support Arduino as mentioned over here
