Video: AMOS-controlled Quiz Buzzer System
In his latest video series, Robert Smith shows how to build an AMOS-controlled quiz buzzer system based on an Arduino board:
- Part 1 shows how to build a cable version of the simple quiz buzzer system that includes different sound effects for each key pressed.
- Part 2 shows how to build a wireless variant using nRF24L01 modules and Arduinos.
- Part 3 updates the wireless variant so that the controller can be connected to an Amiga and a simple quiz system can be run with AMOS. The AMOS quiz system communicates with the controller via the serial port and uses some form of interrupts ("every") to maintain communication.

MorphOS: Web browser Wayfarer 3.9
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek has released version 3.9 of his Wayfarer web browser for MorphOS, which mainly includes changes for media playback. As the author writes, ClearKey encryption is not very popular nowadays, but is still used by some live streaming services. Wayfarer can now play these streams (e.g. https://tv.nrk.no).
The emulation of touch events makes it possible to search on mobile Youtube again. In this regard, the developer refers to the updated FAQ page: instructions on how to fix Youtube/iOS search and how to use a VPN with Wayfarer (with additional hardware) have been added.
Jacek also thanks everyone who had donated to the project in the last. He said that this is a motivation for further development. Changes:

Music editor: MusicMaker V8 Version 3.16
As Thomas Winischhofer told us at the end of October last year, the development of his 'MusicMaker V8' was actually finished. Apparently, however, he always finds the time and inclination to fix minor bugs and to continue to maintain his sample-based music editor, which he started as a hobby project in 1986, so that since version 3.12, the fourth update to version 3.16 has now been released. Changes since our last report:

Magnifier tool: Lupe 2.0 for AmigaOS 3 and MorphOS
Matthias "UltraGelb" Böcker wrote: "'Lupe' continously magnifies an area of the screen and displays it in a window. The window can be resized and the scalefactor can be dynamically changed. Per default Lupe follows the mouse pointer and magnifies the area sourrounding the pointer, but it is also possible to have it magnify a freely setable fixed area. It can show colour values of the current pixel under the mouse pointer and also its coordinates. Additionally a grid can be enabled. Furthermore it can save the current window contents as IFF or PNG image."
