This next 3D-printed project, though, is... maybe less cute: an animatronic Facehugger from the Alien franchise, which can be remote-controlled or react to movement.

The next version will, apparently, be able to jump(!)

This Autonomous Facehugger, Powered by an Espressif ESP32, Could Give an Alien Nightmares

Inspired by the Alien franchise, this 3D-printable Facehugger reacts to movement — or can be controlled remotely via Bluetooth.

A lovely #AdventureTime build next, in the form of a #RaspberryPi-powered BMO running a Java-based "quasi-OS" that can play games, videos, and... err, sometimes farts.

Then some fire-fighting from #Arduino as the community reacts poorly to some new terms and conditions - but it says that it's all a misunderstanding, and that "what was open stays open" despite concerns to the contrary.

Arduino Clarifies Terms and Conditions Following Backlash: "Anything That Was Open, Stays Open"

Reports of rights-grabs to users' projects and a a ban on reverse-engineering boards and software stem from misunderstanding, Arduino says.

Cleared my to-do queue for the day, and while there are still three articles waiting to be published over on #Hackster I'll round up the ones that are live now - starting with a project from Simon Carter to build an accessible radio which announces its tunings at the push of a button.

Simon Carter's Arduino-Powered FM Radio Has a Built-In Announcer for the Visually Impaired

Accessible radio uses a text-to-speech library to announce the current channel frequency for eyes-off use.
