TUIs for Nerves
Possibilities are endless.
I promise this is the last one related to ex_ratatui :).
But oh man, so excited! I wanted to try out some Nerves stuff for a very long time. And it was the perfect excuse to try to bring TUIs into embedded to see how they behave. I was mostly sure that they would just work fine because behind the scenes is ratatui which is a very mature and curated library already at this point, and I know people doing crazy stuff for embedded with it.
So I gave it a try… went awesome!
Here you have an example to get it running quickly on any Raspberry Pi: nerves_ex_ratatui_example.
It has a system monitor dashboard, so you know what’s going on with your device. And the “Hello World” for embedded which is blinking the LED. But from a TUI 🍻!
Would love to hear what you build if you give it a try.
