The ATtiny-based litte brother of Noko. Tiny and cute. And everyone is invited to contribute. Nokolino is for everyone. This repository is for the PCB version of Nokolino, easy and fast to build. See PCB on how to get your own boards. Do you own a complete kit? Look here.
What's new? See the newsblog.
Like his big brother Noko, the little Nokolino delights it's surroundings with cheeky comments. But unlike Noko he is more obstinate - no radio, a display, no frills. Instead of an Arduino he has a small ATtiny microcontroller, only an on-off switch and a big button. But he is small, can stay active for days and is, in contrast to his big brother, very easy to build.
Another useful application option would be to use the hardware without the monster suit as a music box in an old used doll to bring it back to modern days, maybe with other sounds or songs.
What does he to - technically? Whenever you press his button, he will laugh. And when he's just turned on, he says something random randomly every statistically 10 minutes. That's ist. Quiet a lot for a stuffed monster!
Nokolino stands for Nora and Nikos monster - the appendix lino describes the small version.
Right now, the building wiki, the voice set and the manual are in German. I'll try to translate the wiki and the manual one day. Until then, feel free to ask me for translation, if you need help. Contribute! I need an English voice set and English text files. In addition, any other language is welcome, Nokolino is to be cosmopolitan!
Nokolino needs Arduino IDE 1.6.6 or newer (https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software). Copy the folder Nokolino/src/Nokolino_V30/ for the JQ6500 module, Nokolino/src//Nokolino_V31/ for the JQ8400 module, Nokolino/src/Nokolino_V32/for the DFPlayer module or Nokolino/src/Nokolino_V21/ for older 2018 kits into your sketch folder and install ATtiny support. See how to compile for further instructions.

English wiki will follow. One day...
