Yes, it looks like it's "just" a tutorial. As someone who recently started dabbling into MCU programming, I can tell you that a tutorial that shows you all the steps, and has an end result that works and can still be tweaked, is valuable. The DX you may be used to in modern programming is something you can only dream of in the embedded world. Every manufacturer has their own bespoke frameworks, tools, and conventions. The development loop is long: you have to build the thing, flash it to the firmware, reboot the device... You're dealing with raw bytes 99% of the time, so compiler type safety is little help in checking that your program will behave as expected and mistakes are frequent. The global state is huge, and with so little computing/memory resources, you're discouraged from introducing complex abstraction that would help clarify the code or avoid mistakes. |
