What time is it? Well, about five to four by my clock, but more importantly it's #Hackster round-up time!
First, for those who've got a shiny new #Arduino UNO Q on their desks, a new Arduino App Lab which adds some nice quality-of-life features including easy project import and export.
Also, it apparently takes 10GB of temporary storage to update your Arduino UNO Q(!)
A quiet design change to the #RaspberryPi 4 next, as the company tries to battle ongoing RAM component price rises caused by the #AI bubble: it can now take either one full-capacity or two half-capacity DRAM chips, just like Sinclair's classic ZX81!
For the #sustainability crowd, a work-in-progress open-source solar micro-inverter - designed to be easily understand and reproduced locally for deployment in 230/240VAC regions.

The Serial Wombat 8B ecosystem - cheap WCH RISC-V microcontrollers loaded with an open-source firmware and installed on boards that act as smart dev-board expanders over I2C - grows four boards larger now, as Jonathan Broadwell launches a new #crowdfunding campaign.

And last but not least, a project from Max Reble which makes it possible to develop with the .NET framework on* the #Arduino UNO Q - adding support to the Arduino Router that lets the single-board computer side talk to the microcontroller side.
* Where "on" is expanded to mean "when tethered to a desktop running the full-fat .NET software development kit," anyway.

First #Hackster round-up of February. Let's see what's keeping me busy today!
First up, something I mentioned this morning: the second price hike from #RaspberryPi in the last two months. This time the $25 added to top-end SKUs is joined by another $60(!). Why? Well, the AI bubble: RAM is expensive now, everything has RAM, so everything is expensive.
It won't be the last price hike of the year, either, I'll tell you that now.
