Things are going well with the weather station project 🌦️

My header pins didn't fit into the unusually small holes on the microcontroller, but luckily my colleague threw me a bunch of fitting ones. Soldering went well after I've figured out that the soldering sponge isn't supposed to be wet 😅 Otherwise, the tip instantly oxidizes and solder doesn't melt.

I also had to remake the header pins on the display adapter, since the original ones were Г - shaped, so the board was inserted vertically into the breadboard. There was no way to plug the display cable in there, unless I put the whole breadboard on its side.

Working with Rust is a pleasure. tinybpm crate can read an image in BinaryColor format. However, it can't be displayed directly, because the display doesn't get what BinaryColor::On and Off mean, it's not applicable for a display that's not even On :)

But the conversation is as easy as calling .color_converted(), since all necessary traits are already implement.
