[sudo-discuss] Microcontroller Newbie Night @ sudo room - Tomorrow night!

[Hol Gaskill]

Hi Folks,

Going to change things up a little bit for tomorrow's microcontroller night.  I've finished for now with my active microcontroller projects (can it be???) so I'll be doing a few newbie-level projects/experiments myself.

On the menu for tomorrow night:
-DIY alarm clock w/ RGB LED output.
-DIY motion detector w/light and maaaaybe camera
-anything you want to bring and work on

Of course for total newbies, we will begin with blinking an LED and move rapidly from there - it's easy with a little help!

Also[0] I will be skipping town for a few weeks.  Would anyone like to take over hosting this event for the next three sessions?  Only involves sending an email, creating a FB event and sending out a few seed invites to FB-enabled sudoers and whoever else you want, and of course welcoming people who arrive.  The latter bit is of course the most involved, but if you are friendly and able to direct people to the soldering iron, wire pile, ac adapter bin etc it's a snap.  Dates are May 21, June 4, and June 18.  You can continue hosting if you get into the swing of it, or anyone can really.  I just want it to exist at sudo room.

Also[1] A few medium term group projects have been identified in and around the discussion at the last event.  If you might like to get involved in these but cannot attend tomorrow night, I'll post some details to controllers at lists.sudoroom.org afterward.  Hasn't been much traffic there yet, but stay tuned for project info.

Hope to see y'all there!
