I didn’t really get into in the last post, but the Brainfuino implements the brainfuck language in a FPGA platform emulating an Arduino Uno (sort of). Here’s a picture of what I received in the mail:

The instructions I received are somewhat minimalist, two sides of a single sheet of paper.

The terminal you use to interface with the Brainfuino is recommended on Winblows to be PuTTY, but since I interface with a Rapsberry Pi, two programs seem to be the options available. Both are installed with apt get and the programs are minicom and gtkterm. I’ve used GTKTerm and it seems to do the trick.

Some of the instructions are non-starters because you must dismantle the case to access the reset button, and I don’t have a 2mm hex key handy, that I know of.

I haven’t done much programming on the Brainfuino, as I’m still developing the software and it’s easier to develop using the tool at monocalc.com: https://monocalc.com/tool/programming/brainfuck_interpreter. More info is available about brainfuck, just use your browser. Here’s DuckDuckGo’s web page on brainfuck:

Oh, and I don’t think you’re going to find out too much about the Brainfuino, DuckDuckGo’s page is here:

I’ll look up the web info in my browser tabs and post it here, or you can use the email addresses in the docs above. The web site for the current build of the Brainfuino is https://lectronz.com/products/brainfuinov1-1.

I heard about the Brainfuino from a post Thalia made on the fediverse. My handle on the fediverse is @jaypeach53. Yeah, not a tech site, but on the fediverse you can talk to the whole fediverse from any instance.
