I saw this on Kickstarter, looks closer to basic electronics than robotics, might still be interesting

Can you help this project to extend the useful life of Lego Mindstorms?

Hello, Fediverse. I'm looking for embedded experts to help save #LEGO MINDSTORMS! Background: https://pybricks.com/project/saving-lego-mindstorms/ Help: https://github.com/pybricks/support/issues?q=label%3A%22help%20wanted%22%20label%3A%22platform%3A%20EV3%22 I've made major progress, but I'd love to get some help! If writing an SPI flash driver or USB device implementation is your thing, I would love to hear from you 😀 I'll gladly donate an EV3 set for this. We can do this as a paid project too if that's a better fit. Let's discuss! #foss #retrocomputing #ewaste #getfedihired #FediHire #fedijobs
A few months ago, I announced our initiative to save #LEGO #MINDSTORMS. It's high time for a progress update!
You might have seen hundreds of code updates recently, so now is a good time to demonstrate where we are.
This is clearly not the most impressive EV3 robot you've ever seen, but we're excited about the progress we've made on motors, sensors, and the EV3 brick.
One of the next big steps will be to enable USB communication with the brick. This is necessary to download and run programs.
A new step in my LEGO sorting machine: After 4 years, I have finally extended the EV3 code so it can handle errors. And package it as a Debian archive
for easy installation. On the other hand, it has become clear that the EV3 has run its
course and needs to be replaced. More details in my newsletter:
