[TriEmbed] April and Re: RARSFest wishlists

Fri Mar 16 13:34:28 CDT 2018

I hear you, brother. I'm in the middle of mailstroms to do with another 
organization and seem to be meeting myself coming the other way.

To the others: I'll have an independent table at RARSfest too, so if 
stuff keeps falling off Kevin's come and find me. I'll have around 100 
240x320 color touch screen displays that plug into Unos or Uno 
compatibles. If the Chinese don't let me down I might be demonstrating 
this with a board that looks like an Uno but has an ESP-32 instead of an 
Atmega328.

While I'm at it, I recently wrote a multi-tasking support library for 
Arduino and if Paul doesn't need a do-over next month I can go over the 
design and some demonstrations.

And we sure could use somebody who knows how to capture slides, camera 
and audio and put it into a mpeg or other file that YouTube can handle. 
Charlie West knows the magic spells using VLC, I think, but is no longer 
active and I failed to ask for a cheat sheet from him.

Regards,
Pete
