Meeting Thursday? Yes/No

[Rick Nemer]

Last two Months we have had a really light turn out.

Should we have a meeting or not this month?  Yes or No
I don't have a real topic other than the Mini-Sumo project.
We can work on later after the first of the year.
I am inclined to cancel this months meeting.

Ken Burns will do a talk in December on his new start-up company, Tiny-Circuits.

I had been on the fence but had just decided at noon that I was going to attend Thursday night.

 

While I have a negative interest in mini-sumo robots, the 8 week on-line course “Control of Mobile Robots” by Magnus Egerstedt, Georgia Tech, that starts Jan 28, 2012 did catch my eye.  The course one-liner is “Learn about how to make mobile robots move in effective, safe, predictable, and collaborative ways using modern control theory.” 

 If anyone is interested, info on this and other free courses is are www.coursera.org.  Unfortunately, I signed up for another course during the same time frame and have trouble handling one course at a time.  I took my first course in the fall and they had 40,000 individuals registered for the course.

Topics for future meetings that I am interested in are

 

-          Minimum tools needed for working with SMD’s

-          Test equipment requirements

-          What people have as “basement” or “prototyping” electronics workbenches

-          Sources for purchase of one and two’s rather than thousands of parts

-          Presentations on electronics technologies, development boards, etc.

Hi Zeke and all you ADG members, 

I think all the topics you are asking about would be valid questions for Ken at the December 13th meeting.

I think at a point when Ken is up and running at his new location we can meet at Spaghetti Warehouse and go over for a tour of his new surface mount equipment. He can also explain how you can do a home low volume production.
Chris Cole can also explain how he does home SMD placement.

As no one else has responded yet I will not plan on a meeting his month.
If some of you want to get together for dinner that's always a good place to meet up.
Talk to you soon..
