February Meeting: Arduino and AVR

Weather permitting, we are rescheduling the talks from last month to February. The meeting will be on Tuesday, 2/8/2011 at 6:30 PM.

Robert will be talking about the AVR. The AVR is a modified Harvard architecture 8-bit RISC single chip microcontroller which was developed by Atmel. There’s a great gcc toolchain for use in Linux.

John will be doing a follow-up to his previous Arduino (www.arduino.cc) talk. This time he’ll cover XBee wireless communication and connecting physical objects (e.g. toilets) to the Internet (e.g. Twitter).

It’s winter, so please watch the mailing list for updates on the day of the meeting.
