I created a page about my recent presentation with a link to the slides here. Video will be uploaded when it is ready. There is some explanation about the dropped characters we saw in demoB.

For January 11th: Arduino <==> Raspberry Pi Communication
Paul MacDougal will talk about arranging communication between these two popular single board computers, and Alex Davis will have a Raspbery Pi with Retropie and MAME to show. This will be followed by the usual show and tell and chat session. Bring your projects, ideas and questions.
We’ll be meeting in EBI room 1007, next door to the one for previous months (and the same as the one TAR is meeting in). This room will be stable through April.
Details and maps here.
Also, we took advantage of TI’s special offer of MSP432 Launchpads. They’ll be available at the meeting for $5. (They will also be at the Splatspace open meeting tomorrow evening.)

ESP8266, watch Out: New Kid on the Block!
This is a forum for the Broadcom WIFI/ARM combo board I was raving about last night: emw3165.com
And from the small world department, I just noticed this forum’s domain is registered in Asheville, North Carolina!
For December 14th: Moving Beyond the Arduino IDE
Dissatisfied with the Arduino IDE? Curious about what else is out there? Join Jon Wolfe and Pete Soper at the December TriEmed meeting to learn about alternatives for embedded software development.
IEEE IOT (Internet of Things) SIG Kickoff Meeting Wednesday DEC 2nD
Arduino Project Demos and Idea Session @ Splatspace Saturday
Terry King and Mary Alice Osborne of Yourduino in Huntsville Alabama a few days ago, standing near a Saturn V F-1 engine nozzle.
Terry and Mary Alice will be at Splat Space (Durham Makerspace) Saturday morning, November 21st from 10am to noon to demonstrate Arduino projects and help attendees explore ideas. Kids are welcome (middle schoolers and older will get the most out of it) but there will be plenty of interest to attendees of all ages.
Soft drinks will be available at the ‘space. Some Yourduino inventory will be available for purchase (but this is not a sales pitch event).
There is a Meetup Page that has location and other details. The best way into Splat Space is via the gate on Corporation Street between Mangum and Roxboro.
More details about Yourduino on their info page.
Next Meeting Monday, November 9th @ 7pm (NCSU EBI rm1005)
This month’s meeting will be a general show and tell and chat session with the occasional very short presentation as folks throw their gadgets under the A/V microscope or put something else into the projector.
Location, maps, and other details on the meeting page here.
Dev Kits!
Bill Farrow brought a load of surplus dev kits to the October 12th meeting. These were divvied up at the end of the meeting. Gene Kahn has already started working with his Freescale Tower kits.
Next Meeting October 12th, 7pm @ NCSU
Fluid modeling of resistance, current, potential, capacitance, and inductance by Ryan Shuster.
The last part of the meeting will be the usual open forum. Bring your show and tell items, problems needing help, etc.
THERE WILL BE AN ASSORTMENT OF DONATED DEV KITS TONIGHT AND ATTENDEES WILL DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH THEM AT THE MEETING.
