Note: I'm reworking this at the moment, some things won't work.

I wanted to have a watt-meter that I could plug into my electrical supply to ensure I didn't trip the max rating at my granparents' when charging an EV. I could have bought a "smart-balancing charger" to handle this for me, but I wanted to keep costs low and learn embedded Rust.

On this talk I'll go over how to manage side-projects, keep objectives reasonable and the technical details and how easy it is to build an API backend using Rocket, handling serialization and parallelism, as well as using Rust on the embedded device, including flashing, demonstrated how this is all integrated into cargo as a build tool.
