RE: Arduino

[Dave Hempy]

There are several in the group.  I tinkered with it just a little, and look forward to some of that Spare Time to do some more.

 

We had a BYOA show-and-tell a while back (6 months?).  I’m sure there’d be interest in another get-together at the space.

 

What do you want to do with it?

I would like to get together with anyone who is prototyping and building with the Arduino microcontroller. I am new to this platform but have been into electronics for many years. If anyone of you would like to help out a beginner just send me an email. rolp...@gmail.com

Thanks

Bobby Rolph

Yeah! We should definitely have another microcontroller/embedded computing meeting (RPi, Beagleboard, MSP430, Arduino, etc).

Pretty cool what you can do with an arduino ( or 2 arduinos)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrF22zAU8s4&feature=player_embedded

I’m seeing him dive into the Jeep, pursued by a desert full of banditos as bullets ricochet off the hood…

 

…and he’s scrolling through menus to find the “Start Engine” feature with “Lock doors” enabled.

 

Could really jazz up the suspense with a nice comic undertone!

I’m in, if I can scrape together a few hours of free time. 

 

Would folks like another free-form show-n-tell?

 

How about a pair of meetings: one to introduce a challenge or two and discuss strategies, and another a month later to follow up and share solutions?  If those two flew, it could easily be a monthly meeting.

 

This would not be a competition, but collaborative/parallel play. 

 

Things like:

·         RGB LED controller

·         Motion-detector light controller and logger

·         Temperature logger w/ rss feed

·         Web-controlled camera shutter / time lapse capture

·         POV imager

·         Ethernet collision detector

·         Internet weather forecast display – text LCD display, or on a full monitor

·         Light-seeking tank with nerf cannon

·         Sumobot  (ok…this one WOULD be a competition!)

 

Maybe have a “First Project” challenge and an “Advanced” challenge?

 

Interest?

I have an arduino with a prototyping board on it. The goal was that I had wanted to build little autonomous robots and such to play with with my kid (who is now three). However I haven't yet had time to play with it much, nor figure out how to control motors, build wheels etc for it in order to do these high-brained ideas that I come up with. So a general meeting / group / knowledgebase would be nice to bounce questions and real-time learning off of a group.

TL;DR; Lets do it!

[Aaron Arnett]

Following our last get-together I got an Arduino, but have not had the occasion to put it to use other than proving it worked by making the onboard LED blink in random but mesmerizing patterns...

I'm in for a gathering... Especially would love to see all the peripherals people have schemed up innovative ways to connect.

Challenges sound like a great idea!

Might be good to at least throw in a bit about soft processors to any
such discussion:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_processor

I've had a bit of experience with the Microblaze, but I don't know
if I know enough to talk about it. :-X

Trust me when I say that bullets do NOT bounce off of hoods; they
penetrate, leaving big, ugly holes, and making a mess out of the
engine components under there. I had a friend that accidentally put
a rifle bullet through his hood while using it as a rest for sighting
in a new rifle. Whoopsie!

That whole keyless ignition thing throws some people for a loop. :-)

Especially after he's put bandaids all over his hood!

I am a ham radio op.so any radio related projects would be cool. I also have a RasPi now but I need the get the Arduino programming going first.Any help would be great!

I really like Dave's idea of challenge and solution meetings in a "collaborative/parallel play" sort of way.
