How to get one?

Currently the only way to have one is to make it yourself.

If you love hacking with hardware as we do you can build one yourself by following documentation on this page (scroll down) and github.

Everything about JokeDuino is opensource - the goal is simple make a lot of pranks ;-) All needed instructions are on this page and on github.

We are planning to make ready to buy JokeDuino kit. However to do it we would need funds - we are thinking about launching a campaign on kickstarter or indiegogo.
