Hi! I'm James. I love writing Rust with a focus on embedded/CNC.

I'm currently working full time on ethercrab, a pure Rust EtherCAT controller. It is 100% open source and, since quitting my job to work on it, means I could use some help covering my monthly costs. If you're interested in using EtherCrab or just supporting the project, please consider becoming a sponsor so I can cover my monthly costs!

I also maintain several embedded Rust crates, like embedded-graphics for drawing things on any size display, embedded drivers for the ssd1306, sh1106 and ssd1331 OLED displays.

Finally, I maintain Rust bindings to LinuxCNC's HAL. I have big plans around a pure Rust open source CNC machine control, so watch this space!

I'd love to continue working in open source fulltime, and your support enables me to cover my monthly costs and focus on making cool free stuff. Every little helps, so thank you 🙂

This would cover my monthly costs, allowing me to focus full time on open source.
