Show HN: Ingenuity-DL, CLI app to make GIFs from Ingenuity helicopter images

2 pointsby Pixadusabout 2 years ago
Back in 2020, NASA launched the Perseverance rover with an attached helicopter, Ingenuity - the first man-made object to use another planet&#x27;s atmosphere for powered flight.<p>On days Ingenuity flies, it tends to take a lot of pictures and sends them back to Earth. Ingenuity-DL is a small CLI app designed to convert those images into a GIF to watch each flight.<p>This was my first real project with Rust. I&#x27;m interested in diving more into programming with it, so any advice would be welcomed :)

Very cool. I was reading the code expecting to find a shell command out to ffmpeg to make the final gif but it uses gifski = &quot;1.10.0&quot;! Nice.
