    @BigLebowski, I tried to look at the github, but it seems completely empty?

    I stand corrected, github does have code indeed.

    Would welcome however a pointer on "where to buy"

    In case others did not think of it:

    I found out that there's an easier way to program the Arduino once installed in a machine rather than using a PC: I'm connecting a RPI3 (or 4) to the Arduino, as you can actually install ArduinoIDE on it, see here: https://minicode.co.za/2019/10/12/correctly-installing-the-arduino-ide-on-a-raspberry-pi4/

    Since the RPI is connected over wifi, you can use VNC to remote control it and update code without even opening the backbox.
