Nibble is an educational tool disguised in the shape of a retro game console.
It's a new and improved version of MAKERbuino that makes learning about electronics and programming fun!
With a build guide, assembling the kit will be easy peasy. This DIY console comes preloaded with four retro games inspired by cult classics — Bonk, Invaderz, Snake, and SpaceRocks. Not just that, you can even code your own games in CircuitBlocks code editor. It's similar to Scratch or Code.org, making it easy for beginners to get into embedded programming.
Nibble’s software is fully open-source and available for you to download. Nibble’s hardware’s schematics and the bill of materials are also open-source and available online.
