At the set angle, it releases the dart. By monitoring many throws with computer vision, Bommersbach was able to dial in the speed and angle variables until the result became very predictable. An Arduino UNO Rev3 board controls the arm speed and calculates the r [08:39] schestowitz elease. But Bommersbach struggled to get the timing of the release exactly right, as the Arduino was running its code sequentially and so there was a small variance just enough to throw off the throw.

[08:40] schestowitzThis disconnect leaves a big gap in practical, industry-relevant skills among graduates.
[08:40] schestowitzAddressing this critical need, were excited to introduce the Arduino PLC Starter Kit. Powered by the robust Arduino Opta mini PLC and backed by the intuitive Arduino PLC IDE, this kit is set to revolutionize programmable logic control education.

However, we are expanding our horizons to make sure the Thunderbird Snap experience is officially supported too. We at Thunderbird are team free software, independent of the packaging technology. This will mostly affect our Ubuntu users but there are plenty of other Snap use [08:42] schestowitz rs out there as well.

According to a translated version of the announcement, independence was a key motivation for switching to open source software.
[08:44] schestowitz"Independent, sustainable, secure: Schleswig-Holstein will be a digital pioneer region and the first state to introduce a digitally sovereign IT workplace in its state administration," said Gunther. "[T]he government has given the starting signal for the first step towards complete digital sovereignty for the country, with further steps to follow."
