Live Webcast

Arduino for Ham Radio

 

Please join us for
a special webcast featuring our special guest, Glen Popiel, KW5GP, author of
the newly released ARRL publication, Arduino for Ham Radio.  This event will be webcast from W5KUB’s
personal ham shack on Thursday, October 30th at 8:00 PM CT (0100 UTC).  Arduino devices are powerful and inexpensive
microcontrollers, and they are an easy way
for ham radio operators, students, and professionals to create devices that
interact with their environment using sensors and actuators.  Glen will discuss Arduino and its many applications.  Glen will show and demonstrate projects from his book.  He may even bring some surprise projects not
in the book.  Glen’s projects include:

 


 
  
  Random Code Practice
  Generator
  
  
  Talking GPS/UTC Time/Grid
  Square Indicator
  
 
 
  
  CW Beacon and Foxhunt Keyer
  
  
  Iambic Keyer
  
 
 
  
  Fan Speed Controller
  
  
  Waveform Generator
  
 
 
  
  Digital Compass
  
  
  PS/2 CW Keyboard
  
 
 
  
  Weather Station
  
  
  Field Day Satellite Tracker
  
 
 
  
  RF Probe with LED Bar Graph
  
  
  Azimuth/Elevation Rotator Controller
  
 
 
  
  Solar Battery Charger Monitor
  
  
  CW Decoder
  
 
 
  
  On-Air Indicator
  
  
  Lightning Detector
  
 
 
  
  Talking SWR Meter
  
  
  CDE/Hy-Gain Rotator Controllers
