[McHUG] Dirty Birds and Zipits

[Rich Mitchell]

Things we can talk about tomorrow (Friday) night:

1. SMT and Charleston
(from Steve)
> I'd also like to make plans for Frank 
 > K0BRA's visit to Westminster to show us how to use a toaster oven to 
> re-flow SMT boards. I've got four Charleston receiver boards, (and 
> there may be others???) so we've got some real hardware to try this 
>with. 

2. Zipit Hack
Steve, if you could bring your Linux Laptop with Zipit files, since I didn't have vi perhaps my downloaded files are corrupt or a different version.
I'll bring my Zipit - a new micro SD and adapters (mini, standard SD and USB).

3. Balloon - Pat's difficulty trying to get computer decoding of the DirtyBird signal points out that an Arduino shield that could plug directly into the HT headphone jack, decipher the signal using Steve's code, display it on an LCD, and record it to EEPROM, would be a big help.  Perhaps we could talk about a design.

Any other thoughts?

Rich
