[TriEmbed] meeting tonight @ 7pm

[Jon Wolfe]

As a followup to the question I asked chip about Codebender. It does not support Chromebooks :(.

Only Firefox and Chrome browsers are supported, running on Windows, Max, or Linux. (They don't say that anywhere until you try to sign up)

Subject: [TriEmbed] meeting tonight @ 7pm
 


The next Triangle Embedded computing interest group meeting will be tonight 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.

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:

  * Nvidia Jetson update
  * Trail activity project update
  * understanding the ZigBee protocol for talking between devices
  * A few words about the "Codebender" development tools
  * five minutes with an inexpensive, open source logic analyzer
    (what do I2C and SPI traffic look like, really?)
  * Update about Brian's museum/educational projects:
      - Dual temperature montor using single-wire sensors
      - Railroad hump yard with two turnouts used to simulate a
    basic conveyor system
      - Bi-directional traffic signal with an NOR gate chip to act
    as the left-turn sensor
    * understanding the ZigBee protocol for talking between devices

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, July, and August have been made.
    Starting NEXT month there will be a different room. Details coming.

-Pete
