The next CPLUG meeting will be Tuesday (1/11) at ITT in Harrisburg 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).
See you there!

Doug will be talking about all things RAID!

See you there!
