[McHUG] Saturday Workshop

[Rich Mitchell]

Just thought of something - I didn't give the time.  We will meet at 10am to noon.  That way you can get some chores done in the morning - OR - we can meet somewhere for breakfast before heading to the workshop.

> Now that Tax Day has come and gone we can get back to good stuff. This Saturday 
> we are having our Workshop durning which we will have two types of activity. 
> 1) Soldering: If you haven't got your Barebones Board kit yet or did get one 
> but didn't get to solder it, this will be the first activity. The idea is to 
> come away from this with a working Arduino kit and P4 serial port adapter. (By 
> the way, BBB kits are free to those who come out.) 
> 2) Programming: Once you have built the kit then you will get on a computer, 
> load the Arduino environment and download the Blink program into the Barebones 
> Board. Your takeaway from this activity is knowing how to load and use the 
> Arduino environment. If you bring your own computer, your takeaway will be a 
> working Arduino environment. 
> 
> What should you bring? IF you have it bring: 
> 1) Barebones Board kit and P4 serial adapter. I'll bring about ten kits. 
> 2) Soldering stuff if you need to build the kit. We'll bring extra. 
> 3) Breadboard - if you got a breadboard last year for the PICAXE, bring it along 
> - the Barebones Board will fit right into it. 
> 4) Your computer, if you want to. 
> 
> Please let me know if you are coming. Let me know if you will be soldering a 
> kit or are ready to jump right into the computer work. Right now we are looking 
> at working in the club station. The adjoining classroom is in use. If more 
> than a few are interested in coming, we'll investigate classrooms in the barn. 
> If the weather forcast holds up, the VHF porch may be a good place to solder.

> Since my last communication Neil, WA5JXY has joined us. Welcome. If QRZ is 
> correct we probably won't expect to see you on Saturday since TX is a long way 
> from MD. But we can sure get you some of this Arduino stuff if you want to join 
> in the fun. So far we have 13 on the reflector.
