Things this week:  

TNG – CANCELLED!!  COVID

Several of our regulars have tested positive for COVID this week.  Most of them attended last week’s TNG & the Columbus Hamfest so we have no idea where they got it .  So, to help prevent the spread 

THERE WILL NOT BE A TNG THIS WEEK!!

         We plan on resuming TNG next week, Aug 18.         

PLEASE if you are having any of the COVID symptoms DO NOT come to the clubhouse. 

 

Small Computer SIG * Aug 13 * 

 

The joint Dayton Amateur Radio Association / Dayton Microcomputer Association Single Board Computer SIG will be meeting on Saturday August 13th at 2:00pm.  Single Board Computer SIG meetings are held at the Dayton Amateur Radio Association club house, 6619 Bellefontaine Road, Huber Heights, OH 45424

 

The planned subject for the August meeting is the interfaces on the Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Both boards have hardware to support interfaces like I2C, SPI, 1-Wire and serial. We will be building a temperature sensor using the 1-Wire interface.
