Great! I've never attended to the Arduino workshops, but I'm looking
forward to this one. Will it noob-friendly? What can we expect?

I can tell you it's very noob friendly - I was pretty much a noob when I went! I really enjoyed it & learned a lot.

It's only showing up on Saturday on the calendar - probably worth
fixing that to avoid some grief.

Actually I have no idea where that page came from. It's not mine and
it's not relevant so ignore it.

I think it may have been the signup page for the workshop we held in
August last year, almost exactly a year before this one...

Excellent. I've signed up and am looking forward to it.

I have a Diavolino. Is that sufficient for the course?
Also I have an idea for an Arduino project, that needs a wireless internet connection. What would be the best Arduino board to get?

Thanks,

Richard

No idea what a Diavolino is!

Make sure you also have the other components required for the course.
These are available from my store in the form of a kit or you can
source your own.

OK I've had a look at the Diavolino and that's fine. Any 100% Arduino
compatible board is fine for the course.

Any Arduino compatible board able to accept standard shields can be
used for your project. You can then obtain one of the many WiFi
shields that are out there.

The Diavolo is fine if you have the TTL USB lead, and the bootloader on it. It doesn't come with the USB port on board.

Well i'm presuming if he already has a Diavolino that he also has a
TTL cable.

Yes. I have the cable - thanks. I picked up the Diavolino, cable and the lolshield at the Mitch Altman soldering workshop at the Hackspace.

Just a reminder to all that the Arduino Workshop is taking place this
weekend at the space and the quiet room will need to be vacated
between 0900 and 1800 Saturday and Sunday.

Thanks.

Can someone please confirm that the quiet room has a projector screen
and a projector still in place please?

Thanks,

The projector in the ceiling was still there as of Wednesday. Ben
tested it so the basic functionality is ok. We didn't try plugging
anything into it at the time.

There's one screen in the quiet room. I'll look at it later tonight.
If it's not ok, there's another one, i can dig out.

Projector's working, and screen's up.

There were still people using the room when i left.

Might need a quick runover with the hoover in the morning.

Billy,

You're a star. Thanks for that.

Sam and Jasper - You're stars too.

I owe you all a beer!

Cheers,
