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.

Jonathan Broadwell Unveils New Serial Wombat 8B Smart Expansion Boards

The WCH CH32V003 with Serial Wombat firmware powers these new expansion boards, including high- and low-side switches and an IR transceiver.

Rather more welcome news from the world of #science next, as engineers develop a chip capable of turning waste heat into useful computation - which could mean more efficient computers.

Maybe. If it scales: they haven't proven it can be used for more than a single operation yet...

This Tiny Chip Could Turn Computers' Waste Heat Into More Performance

A processor that does matrix multiplication calculations using heat rather than electricity could herald a major efficiency gain.

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.

Max Reble Brings .NET to the Arduino UNO Q with an Open Source Arduino Router Client Library

Fancy programming your shiny new Arduino UNO Q in .NET rather than learning Python? Well, now you can.

"Say the line, Bart!"

And all of that is available ad- and tracker-free (though with rumblings that I might add, shock horror, pictures at some point in the future maybe possibly) via the #GeminiProtocol, too:
