[TriEmbed] TriEmbed meeting group

[Scott Hall]

A very good question, one I think a lot of folks are asking and so I am posting
this answer to both TriEmbed and SplatSpace's mailing lists.

The TriEmbed group meets once a month, on the second Monday of every month near
or on the NC State campus.  It started life as "Triangle Arduino" and morphed
into "Triangle Embedded Interest Group" to reflect that other microcontrollers
and single-board computers were being utilized.  Primarily it is a much more
advanced group and gets beyond the hobby world on into the professional.  The
meetings are more seminar and whitepaper oriented, as the lecture rooms on the
NCSU campus won't allow project based effort.

The TriBRAE group meets also once a month, on the 4th Thursday of every month at
SplatSpace.  It is most helpfully for those folks who want to get into Arduinos,
Raspberry Pis, Launchpads and so on but have little or no knowledge of
electronics hardware and/or little or no knowledge of programming.  But even if
you have a more intermediate or advanced skill level, it is a great project time
and a chance to ask questions and work with others.

It is organized more as gathering of folks to share information and have actual
hands-on effort at learning and working with microcontrollers.  If you are on a
tight budget, there are some resources at SplatSpace that can be borrowed at the
time of the gatherings.  Lately there has been a more focused set of lessons,
with supporting handouts that you get to take with you.

        signup:          SplatSpace Calendar
(https://www.meetup.com/splatspace/events/), look for TriBRAE
        mailing list:   SplatSpace mailing list
(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/durham-makerspace/join)

You're welcome to attend both if you so desire, as you can think of the TriEmbed
meetings theoretical and the meetup at SplatSpace project-oriented lab time.
