Feb. 6th 2010 Meeting

We will have a presentation on how to program the Arduino.  Vince Thompson is an excellent teacher and has done a bunch of work on the Arduino and will be presenting.

This will be the first of a series of hands-on meetings.  If you have an Arduino please bring it along with a laptop.  If you don’t have an Arduino you might consider purchasing one.  They are very inexpensive.  I just bought a Arduino Duemilanove from Sparkfun.com for $29.95.  Sparkfun has a range of Arduino computers from 18.95 to 149.95.  Over the next two meetings (plus an auxiliary meeting) we will show how to build a line following robot using an Arduino.

We have had trouble keeping the web site timely with the activities of the club. The Forum was just not really working. I did not want to move to a content management system like Joomla because it requires a lot of design, upkeep and has a rather sharp learning curve. So we are going to try the blog format.

Hopefully this will keep people more informed about the clubs activities.
