AVRDUDE 6.4 released & now transitioning to Github
Good news and happy holidays – everyone’s favorite AVR programmer CLI got a bump to version 6.4! That’s right, AVRDUDE is still alive and kicking, programming endless microcontrollers with style and grace. And soon it will be easier than ever to help contribute PRs, issues, and bugfixes – the project is transitioning over to github so keep an eye out for when they announce the repo name!
Thanks Joerg, we use AVRDUDE every day and its always been a super cool friend – ladyada & pt

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
You’re welcome! 🙂
Transitioning to Github wouldn’t have been possible without Marius Greuel doing all the infrastructure work about it.
