Experiment with new tools for MicroPython
At the end of last year (November 2022) we announced initial support for MicroPython in the Arduino ecosystem, and continued to quietly work on the toolkit for this language. We continuously expand the list of Arduino boards for which a MicroPython firmware is provided (available here).

Open-Source LAMP Instrument Aimed At Clinicians And Biohackers Alike
Over the last few years, we’ve all been given a valuable lesson in both the promise and limitations of advanced molecular biology methods for clinical diagnostics. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was held up as the “gold standard” of COVID-19 testing, but the cost, complexity, and need for advanced instrumentation and operators with specialized training made PCR difficult to scale to the levels demanded by a pandemic.
