Great job. For me, checks all the boxes:

. C (could have been C++... embedded MCU platform)

. compiles cleanly out of the box

. demo is simple, works out of the box, simple to verify

I contrast this with my experience a few days ago with the "Space Invaders in C" post (too lazy to reference it or find the exact title). I do development on my Mac all the time (command-line, C++, clang/gcc). Tried building Space Invaders. One problem after the next. Gave up after about 20-25 minutes.

Cliché as it is, the importance of the "out of box" experience is so important. Especially for a commercial product, which I realize this isn't.
