[TriEmbed] May 12th Meeting reminder: 7pm @ NCSU

[Pete Soper]

The next Triangle Embedded computing interest group meeting will be this 
Monday evening at 7pm at NCSU Centennial Campus Engineering Building II 
, room 1021 at 890 Oval Drive, Raleigh. Map: http://goo.gl/maps/wDiyI. 
All parking is free during the meeting time. There are spaces in front 
of bldg II and a parking deck on Partners Way a bit uphill and north of 
Varsity drive. Best parking will definitely be in front of the building 
for this meeting, as school's out. More and/or late-breaking info will 
be on the web site <http://triembed.org/>.

We'll start with announcements and then "lightning talks." If you have 
something short and sweet to share, please bring a slide or two and/or 
something to stick under the projector (but enthusiastic arm-waving is 
acceptable).

Here are some topics that may be covered:
   * understanding the ZigBee protocol for talking between devices
   * five minutes with an inexpensive, open source logic analyzer (what 
do I2C and SPI traffic look like, really?)
   * sunset & sunrise calculations based location coordinates, including 
"blue-hour" twilight calculations

There will also be an update about Chip McClelland's  trail activity 
project. We'll also hopefully get an update about the Nvidia Jetson 
<https://developer.nvidia.com/jetson-tk1> and Brian's "Raspberry Pi 
Railroad".

The remainder of the meeting will be the usual face to face, small group 
discussions, how-tos, problem solving, etc. Help for beginners is 
available at every meeting. Bring your gadgets and gizmos and cool ideas 
to share!

Meeting room reservations for June and beyond are still being worked 
out. It's quite possible the meeting room will change for June. I'll 
hopefully have the new info in time for the meeting.

(FYI: the triembed.org email archive is inaccessible at the moment but 
I've submitted a ticket and hopefully this will be fixed soon.)
