The first pieces of Monday's meeting are on the TriEmbed <a
href="http://triembed.org/blog/?page_id=62">archive page</a> now.
The final, "highly focused and orderly discussion" part of the
meeting will uploaded tonight and be available tomorrow. <br>
<br>
Thanks to Ian Kilgore, Antonious Iskander, and Vikram Ulaganathan
for representing NCSU at the meeting during spring break.<br>
<br>
Two announcements worth repeating:<br>
<br>
1) The regular meeting of "<a
href="http://www.meetup.com/splatspace/events/220895229/">Raspberry
Pi Geeks - Durham</a>" will be at Splatspace this month (as usual)
on the 26th starting at 6:30pm. This is the fourth Thursday and
that's intended to be the permanent meeting day going forward. This
meeting is oriented toward folks at any experience level.<br>
<br>
2) The biggest hamfest in this part of the country, <a
href="http://www.rars.org/rarsfest/">RARSFest</a>, will be taking
place Saturday, April 4th, starting at 8am at the NC fairgrounds.
It's a sea of tables and booths of stuff folks like us find
interesting. TriEmbed will have at least one table, most likely
close to Splatspace and TriLUG and/or other groups and organizations
(Anibit? Maniacal Labs?) if that can be coordinated. If you've got
anything you'd like to sell, bring it with a label (and tell me how
much table space you need). An end of one table will have TriEmbed
info. A sign, handouts, and hopefully some business cards will be
crafted between now and the hamfest. A first cut of content for a
handout is <a href="http://triembed.org/blog/?page_id=21">here</a>:
comments for making this better are welcome! And it sure would be
nice to loop back and settle on a logo.<br>
<br>
There are some presentations penciled in for next month, but room
for more. Anybody got their meters of group-buy smart pixel strips
winking and blinking yet? I intend to bring a Raspberry Pi 2 and
Odroid C1 to briefly show a few contrasts and similarities between
these two $35 multi-core boards running side by side via VNC. I
might also have a new <a
href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1471240030/controleo2-reflow-oven">Controleo2-driven
reflow oven</a> to show, and maybe a magnetometer-based metal
object movement detector. I'm guessing Chip McClelland may be in a
position to give us an update about his <a
href="http://triembed.org/blog/?p=959">IOT project</a>, and
Charlie West might have time to share more about his <a
href="https://github.com/charlesrwest/QRCodeStateEstimation">QRcode-based
range/direction software</a>. And Paul may have his robot
upgraded. If you'd like to share something in April or at a "future
meeting" send a short description to the list (or directly to me if
you'd prefer).<br>
