The joint Dayton Amateur Radio Association / Dayton Microcomputer Association Single Board Computer Special Interest Group will have it’s next meeting on March 11th at 2:00pm. SIG meetings are held at the Dayton Amateur Radio Association club house located at 6619 Bellefontaine Road, Huber Heights, OH 45424. You do not need to be a member to take part in this activity.

 

We will be looking a number of new single board computers including at a RISC-V board. The RISC-V project began in 2010 at the University of California, Berkeley. Unlike most other ISA designs, RISC-V is provided under open-source licenses that do not require fees to use. Chip manufactures can add custom functions the the processor. 

 

Arduino announced it’s new microcontroller board the GIGA R1 WiFi. Check it out at https://store-usa.arduino.cc. We also have a link in the SBC-SIG groups.io 

 

We have a groups.io message area for the Single Board Computer SIG. The message is currently set up for limited access. Just send a message asking for access to the message system. The Message system is named “sbc-sig”. You can search groups.io for “sbc-sig”  or go to the message system with the full address “ https://groups.io/g/sbc-sig”
