Welcome to TriEmbed
Triangle Embedded Interest Group (TriEmbed) is an informal Triangle, NC (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill/Cary/Apex/etc) area group of people sharing interests in embedded computer/controller systems. This includes hobby-oriented single board computer systems such as ESP32, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and others, as well as full custom electronics aimed at hobby or business venture activities.
Meeting attendees span the full range from beginners to seasoned professionals. Every meeting is intended to provide a welcoming environment for enthusiasts at any level. The meeting format varies from mostly formal presentations to mostly sitting around discussing topics of interest.

Meshcore!
Ever wish you had a communication system for when the whole grid is down? No Internet, no cell, no electricity: no way to get help in a hurry. Ever wished you had a system for communicating with IOT that isn’t named Bluetooth or WiFi when your locations always seem to be a little too far apart or the router seems to randomly check out on you at the worst times? Well wish no more. Meshcore is built on top of extraordinarily effective LoRa radios to provide both emergency and device communication with self organizing mesh networks. It is open source and not under the direction of corporations and has no walled gardens. Interested? Read more about Meshcore here: https://triembed.org/meshcore
For Wednesday 6/29: Face to Face COMMUNITY PROJECT MEETING (click here)

On Wednesday, 6/29/22 at 6:30pm at the Forge Initiative, 2172 N Salem St Suite 001, Apex, NC 27523 there will be another meeting of the TriEmbed comunity project to create and use development tools coupling ESP32 microcontrollers with Dialog mixed signal Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs).
Best to park on the street or in front of an adjacent building if possible so that folks who find the hill hard to walk can park in front of the door.
This will follow up from last month’s “installathon” format to refine tool chain installation and get as many people as possible up and running while turning attention to the Dialog Synthesis tool and creating and running some simple FPGA applications. There will also be demos of things around the corner and related technology (Aaardvark has a graphing function now!) A lot of work has gone into the project (special thanks to alpha testers Jaime Johnsen, Rob Mackie and Dawn Trembath and note taker Glen Smith). Bring your laptop (currently best support is for Linux followed by Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) but raw Windows will succeed with extra work and Docker images are in the works to take the sweat out. An ESP32 dev board is highly desirable but there will be a few spares at the meeting. The meeting will be facilitated by the usual suspects Rob Mackie, Nick Edgington and Pete Soper and is scheduled to end at 9pm.
The daily infection rate in Wake county is currently 433 per day and there will be high risk people at the meeting. Please wear a mask (available at the meeting). There will be an ice chest with some soft drinks to enjoy outside but you’re invited to bring your favorite.

FOR DECEMBER 13: Nick’s mixed signal fpga board AND COMMUNITY BOARD PROJECT STATUS
The normal meeting format will be followed (welcome new attendees, announcements, problem/design review of the month, presentation, community project status, show and tell). This month’s presentation will be by Nick Edgington of Edgington Labs. Nick will share details of a very inexpensive line of mixed signal FPGAs (initial breakout board coming from OSH Park). Additional meeting time will be devoted to the status of the TriEmbed Community “Espressif 32 bit processor board + FPGA(s)” development board project.
