Right, the last article's gone live so it's time for my daily #Hackster round-up - and once again I've been a busy beaver, so if you don't want a ten-toot-thread in your timeline maybe put me on a timed mute... now.
First up is an update to the #Arduino PLC IDE, for the Opta and Portenta Machine Control - bringing support for OTA updates via Modbus TCP, even over a VPN.
A *fantastic* project next, using a #RaspberryPi to stream vinyl records.
Right, okay, that sounds confusing: it captures the audio via a USB soundcard and streams it to AirPlay/Bluetooth speakers... while also capturing it as FLAC to a local database for on-demand playback. Oh, and it fingerprints the audio so it can show the right metadata for each record. Locally.
Yeah, told you it was fantastic.
Andrew "buinnie" Huang's Dabao, which I wrote about back in January, is now crowdfunding: under $10 (plus shipping, admittedly) for a microcontroller board built around the Baochip-1x - a #RISCV part with "mostly open RTL," and packaged in a way you can peer beneath the silicon's surface with an infrared torch and a modified inspection camera.

Some #science next, with a battery-powered lightweight lower-body exoskeleton designed for stroke survivors - dropping the energy required to walk when half your body is weakened by 20 per cent.
The team's working on having it boost movements beyond walking, too.
More news out of #Arduino: Edge Impulse Studio is now fully integrated in the Arduino App Lab, the IDE that lets you write programs that can make use of both the application-class Linux-based and real-time microcontroller chips on the Arduino UNO Q.
For AI.
No, wait, come back! It's the good kind! Machine learning! You can use it to train machine learning models on your own ethically-sourced data and run them entirely on-device.
@RueNahcMohr I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Well, no, it definitely can. But it could also have a model trained to detect when the LED is blinking!
...if you wanted.
