The monthly meeting of the Triangle Embedded Interest Group will be
this Monday starting at 7pm in room <u><i>2201</i></u> of NCSU
Engineering Building <u><i><b>Three</b></i></u>, 911 Oval Drive,
Raleigh. Note the building and room change. This is straight across
the green from building 1 (below building 2).<br>
<br>
This month's meeting will feature a talk by Rob Henry discussing the
design and engineering of his mountain bike lighting system
described below. Following Rob's presentation it will be "open mike"
for show and tell and general chats.<br>
<br>
<b>Abstract:</b> Rob will talk about the evolution of his upcoming
consumer product - a bike light designed for mountain bikers and
commuters. He'll give an overview of his process and challenges,
showcase a few of the iterations of the product (both mechanical
housing and electronics), and talk a little about his online
marketing to date. And he'll bring working prototypes to play with!
The talk will be open and conversational - he'll be prepared to dive
deeper into any particular area the audience may be interested in.
And, of course, welcomes any advice and ideas the TriEmbed group may
have!<br>
This month we can share stories from the Raleigh Hamfest (pictures
on and linked from the <a href="http://triembed.org/blog/?p=1495">blog
page here</a>). Bring your projects, lightning talks, questions
and project challenges to share. If you have something suitable for
a video recording on YouTube please let us know ahead of time. Ditto
if you would like to present at a future meeting. <br>
<br>
<div><b>Bio overview:</b> Rob has an Aerospace Engineering degree
from VA Tech and MBA from UNC-Chapel Hill. Although he is an
engineer by training, he has spent his career split between
serving in the Navy and as an IT consultant. Recently Rob has
decided to get back to his engineering roots - relearning
mechanical design, coding, and DC based electronics. He is
currently working on a consumer product - a bike light - which
should be available sometime this summer.<br>
