Still working on Church A/V stuff. The software I made allows us to control an RS-232 PTZ camera via an Xbox Controller, or our slideshow program (ProPresenter). This week we switched from an Xbox Controller to a flight stick, and I added the ability to change the max speed the camera will move at in software.

After controlling a PTZ camera with an Xbox controller, we realized that wasn’t ideal, so now we’re switching to controlling said camera with a Logitech flight stick (to arrive from Amazon this week)

The way I can think of to do this is to make a program called cargo-build-env which reads a file of your choosing with the features and executes cargo, then place that binary in your ~/.cargo/bin directory. Then you can run cargo build-env to build your program

The program can be in any language as long as it’s executable, including shell script

+1 for Rust, the learning curve can be pretty daunting, but once you’re over the hump you’ll never want to go back

Rust gamedev certainty isn’t easy, but it is fun. Bevy doesn’t have a visual editor like Unity does, which makes it way harder to use. But because it’s not bound to any software like that it makes the engine very flexible. Personally, I like Bevy
