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: <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://goo.gl/maps/wDiyI">http://goo.gl/maps/wDiyI</a>.
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 <a href="http://triembed.org/">web
site</a>.<br>
<br>
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).<br>
<br>
Here are some topics that may be covered:<br>
<br>
* Nvidia Jetson update<br>
* Trail activity project update<br>
* understanding the ZigBee protocol for talking between devices<br>
* A few words about the "Codebender" development tools<br>
* five minutes with an inexpensive, open source logic analyzer
(what do I2C and SPI traffic look like, really?)<br>
* Update about Brian's museum/educational projects:<br>
- Dual temperature montor using single-wire sensors<br>
- Railroad hump yard with two turnouts used to simulate a
basic conveyor system<br>
- Bi-directional traffic signal with an NOR gate chip to act
as the left-turn sensor<br>
* understanding the ZigBee protocol for talking between devices<br>
<br>
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! <br>
<br>
Meeting room reservations for June, July, and August have been made.
Starting NEXT month there will be a different room. Details coming.<br>
