Nokolino

The DIY-kit Monster. Tiny and cute. And everyone is invited to contribute. Nokolino is for everyone. This repository is for the kit (Bausatz) edition of Nokolino, easy and fast to build.

Huch, Englisch? Kann ich nicht. Schnell hier hin.

What's new?
31.03.2021 Alas, Nokolino is sold out. Look at Heise Shop here. Perhaps in future there will be another distributor.

Three NOKOlinos

Like his big brother Noko, the little Nokoino delights it's surroundings with cheeky comments. But unlike Noko he is more obstinate - no radio, no 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 it. Quiet a lot for a stuffed monster!

Nokolino stands for Nora and Nikos monster - the appendix lino describes the small version.

Notes for non-German Nokolino makers

Right now, the building wiki, the voice sets 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!

Prerequisites

Except for some tools and time, the kit is ready to build. The ATtiny is preprogrammed and a the Nokolino male voice set is preinstalled.

If you want to make some changes, Nokolino needs Arduino IDE 1.6.6 or newer (https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software). Copy the folder Nokolino/src/Nokolino/ into your sketch folder and install ATtiny support. See how to compile for further instructions.
