Hello all the DIY builders and long time customers. I thank you all for the support you gave us by building the many kits we delivered. Unfortunately we can't keep the pace with building modules and kits and designing new modules. We will concentrate in selling built modules only and in designing new ones. We will continue to sell kits and PCBs until the stock of PCBs and rare parts will end for each project. Happy last building.

I am delighted to announce the vermicious release of the second batch of ERD/WORM populus edition: https://1010.co.uk/org/ERD.html WORM/populus edition incorporates vocabulary and software changes from WORM/MOON, and also includes improved hardware triggering, and two options (selected by jumpers) providing an ultra-slow mode across all wormings, and supplying an alternative triggering behaviour (one-off trigger of speech utterance).
