🦾 Meet the teens behind RedSnapper: a smart Arduino-powered prosthetic arm
An affordable, AI-assisted, wearable robotic arm? That’s not science fiction – it’s RedSnapper, an open-source prosthesis built by PAC Tech, a team of high school students from Istituto Maria Immacolata in Gorgonzola, Italy. Powered entirely by Arduino boards, their project won the national “Robot Arm Makers” title at the 2025 RomeCup – and we think […]

I was thinking about all the problems I'm having using #Linux or more specifically #LinixMint and the #ardunio #ide.
It seems that the #attiny88 works best with the #atmel software which is only avaulable for Windoze.
I currently run two Asus laptops. A 14 inch that I use for video work and keep as a backup. That runs Linux Mint and the one i'm using now which might be on its last legs. It's 5 years old and somebody looked at the data from one of the syslogs they asked for and said the SSD looked like it was about to fail. I can't remember what data that was now.
So... It might be time to get myself a nice new laptop but this one will come with Windoze and if the Arduino stuff and ATTiny88 stuff works on it then it'll be a good purchase. Since Best Buy has one at $190 then it'll be worthwhile for just microcontroler coding.
I did look at Chromebooks but as usual they have no software that makes them at all useful. They make good Frisbees though.

Making of a #DIY #TonUINO music box for my kids: https://beko.famkos.net/b/1CMC4
It’s a portable music player for kids powered by an #Ardunio that does not require internet access. It features pre-installed music or audio books selected via RFID cards, that may come in all shapes and may be integrated in toys. There are also 3-5 playback controls in the form of huge arcade buttons.
This box was made possible thanks to the TonUINO project by @xfjx and thanks to the Audiothek Downloader by @1337core 🫡
