By the way, I'd like to give a shoutout to Joey Hess, who has built
arduino-copilot <https://hackage.haskell.org/package/arduino-copilot> and
zephyr-copilot <https://hackage.haskell.org/package/zephyr-copilot>. Joey
updated both projects immediately after our release so that they work with
Copilot 3.10.

I've just found out that he also gave a talk
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-luyVRgWVU> on his work, which I think
does an amazing job at showing how easy it is to get it running on arduinos.

Cheers,

Ivan
