Rust language bindings for ev3dev

Notice

Currently this project is not compatible with the BrickPi platform.

Usage

```rust extern crate ev3devlangrust;

use ev3devlangrust::Ev3Result; use ev3devlangrust::motors::{LargeMotor, MotorPort}; use ev3devlangrust::sensors::ColorSensor;

fn main() -> Ev3Result<()> {

// Get large motor on port outA.
let large_motor = LargeMotor::get(MotorPort::OutA)?;

// Set command "run-direct".
large_motor.run_direct()?;

// Run motor.
large_motor.set_duty_cycle_sp(50)?;

// Find color sensor. Always returns the first recognised one.
let color_sensor = ColorSensor::find()?;

// Switch to rgb mode.
color_sensor.set_mode_rgb_raw()?;

// Get current rgb color tuple.
println!("Current rgb color: {:?}", color_sensor.get_rgb()?);

Ok(())

} ```

Cross compile for ev3 brick

1. Create target configuration .cargo/config toml [target.armv5te-unknown-linux-gnueabi] linker = "/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc"

2. Create Dockerfile ```dockerfile FROM debian:stretch

   RUN dpkg --add-architecture armel RUN apt update

   Fix debian package alias

   RUN sed -i "s#deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main#deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main#g" /etc/apt/sources.list

   Install curl for rust installation

   Install g++ as buildscript compiler

   Install g++-arm-linux-gnueabi as cross compiler

   RUN apt --yes install curl g++ g++-arm-linux-gnueabi crossbuild-essential-armel

   Instull rust for host platform

   RUN curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh -s -- -y

   ENV PATH "$PATH:/root/.cargo/bin"

   Add stdlib for target platform

   RUN rustup target add armv5te-unknown-linux-gnueabi

   docker run -it --rm -v $PWD:/build/ -w /build pixix4/ev3dev-rust-cross

   cargo build --release --target armv5te-unknown-linux-gnueabi

   ```

3. Build docker image bash docker build . -t pixix4/ev3dev-rust-cross --no-cache

4. Start docker image bash docker run -it --rm -v $PWD:/build/ -w /build pixix4/ev3dev-rust-cross

5. Build binary for ev3dev bash cargo build --release --target armv5te-unknown-linux-gnueabi The --release flag is optional. However, it can speedup the execution time by a factor of 30.

The target binary is now in target/armv5te-unknown-linux-gnueabi/release/{application_name}
