Same place and time as the Berkeley LUG meetings:  Cafe Blue Door from noon till 3 pm.  

Raspberry Pi, Arduino or any single board computer welcome.  

Tips:  

Enable ssh (headless):  create empty file ssh in the boot volume

Preconfigure WIFI: mount rootfs partition and edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf  so that it looks like this

country=US
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
ssid="Blue Door Cafe"
psk="bluedoor2019"
}

Good Pi meeting.  Juan, Bob, Alan Tong, Alan Davis.  

Juan and Alan T working on Linux stuff.  I tried helping Juan install Linux on a laptop with emmc storage but 
grub fails to install.  The graphical installer doesn't show a real error message so I tried booting from my Arch USB 
and chrooting and I got errors about /dev/sda1 even though the command was grub-install /dev/mmcblk0  
Maybe Juan will bring it next week and we can try again.  

Alan D had an Arduino clone with no markings and it took us a while to figure out it was a arduino nano clone.  
Bob had a dev board with an arduino attached (maybe?  I didn't look at it closely)  Arduino boards have a USB to 
serial built in but Bob was using a dedicated USB to serial cable.  

It was a long meeting and I didn't get out of there til after 5.  

So Til next week when we do Linux stuff.
