Snap4Arduino was a Snap! extension, a full Snap! implementation to interact with the physical world, through many types of electronic devices, especially those compatible with Arduino. Starting with Snap! v11, the S4A Connector library is doing this job.
Snap! is a broadly inviting programming language for kids and adults that's also a platform for serious study of computer science. It is inspired by Scratch, written by Jens Mönig and Brian Harvey and presented by the University of California at Berkeley.

They escape with the plant but realize they have no way to process the new weed. Their genius solution? A gigantic, industrial, gas-station soda machine. They fill the 5-gallon tank with ice, soda, and the entire plant, creating a fizzy, neon-green liquid that can get you high just by looking at it. Cheech And Chong Nice Dreams
When you mention the golden age of counterculture comedy, two names rise to the top of the smoke-filled room: Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong. While Up in Smoke (1978) is often credited as the oxygen-rich big bang of the genre, the duo’s third theatrical film, (1981), represents a weird, wonderful, and often overlooked peak in their catalog.

"Nice Dreams" marked a new chapter in Cheech and Chong's career, as they began to experiment with more complex storylines and characters. The film follows the adventures of Cheech's character, Jesse, and Chong's character, Chong, as they open an ice cream truck business to support their friend, Shirley (played by Ray Mann). However, things quickly take a turn when they start selling more than just ice cream.
Beyond the central duo, Nice Dreams is notable for its strong and eclectic supporting cast, featuring both rising stars and established character actors. The film’s primary antagonist is the perpetually frustrated Sergeant Stedanko, a role reprised by Stacy Keach from Up in Smoke . In this film, Stedanko, now a heavy-drinking stoner himself, is tasked with leading the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to bust the duo. His character arc is one of the film’s comedic highlights as he descends into a marijuana-induced madness, culminating in his own partial transformation into a lizard.
