Dennis DeLorme, giving a talk about Arduino programming.  He has provided the following summary:
=== Socials brainstorming: Fall or winter ===
-Murder mystery.  The host needs to buy a kit at a gaming store to get the event started.

-Jim Henderson, "Silicon Valley" documentary


I use Arduino based boards for various monitor and control projects. The Arduino has a variety of I/O functions (digital, analog, serial, spi,
-Bowlocity laser tag.  5-6 people minimum needed.
etc) but reasonable user interfaces are limited. Permanent storage options are also limited.


The Android has a nice graphical user interface and built in permanent storage.  The external I/O is limited to USB, audio or wireless. There are on board sensors but they are limited, particularly on low end devices.
-Liquid nitrogen ice cream.  This needs a non-Tina organizer.  Dennis DeLorme has 2 recipes.  We need safety equipment and someone trained enough to keep us from freezing ourselves.


My thought was to combine the rich Arduino I/O with the Android GUI and storage. The use of the Android I/O is complex which can limit its use.
I have found working examples for USB to serial and Blue Tooth interfaces. (I felt like I was back on the farm with a pitchfork sorting through the Internet sites to find a few pieces of usable code!)  I will present a simple demonstration of connecting an Arduino and Android to control an LED and sense temperature. (Note: even low end Androids have a "temperature sensor" but it measures the CPU temperature.)


If you have an Android device with Blue Tooth, and are adventurous download Blue Serial by Plasty Grove from Google Play and bring it along. You can then do a demo of controlling my Arduino via Blue Tooth.
=== Pending potential presentations  ===
This is the code I used as a base for my Blue Tooth interface. He (she?) has abandoned the project but gives the link to the source code in the "READ MORE" section. The source is for Eclipse but can be imported to Android Studio relatively painlessly.

With account data breaches occurring at companies, a password alone isn't enough to protect our accounts.  Two-Factor Authentication has been introduced in more services, but it isn't perfect.  In this presentation, I explain the importance of Two-Factor Authentication and attacks against different forms of Two-Factor Authentication.  I will also be debuting my proof-of-concept Man-in-the-Middle attack on FIDO Universal Second Factor (U2F) USB hardware authentication.

Topic: An Introduction to Docker
Meeting link [https://us04web.zoom.us/j/74567357951?pwd=nQjQHcz7eKjaZ5YaHS2UGrat5UVUCv.1 here].


Containers seem to be the current buzzword, and Docker is at the head of the list. Join us for an introduction to the world of Docker containers, and a practical demonstration as well. We’ll look at how to use Docker from the command line, and how it can be managed via a web interface. We’ll also discuss some security aspects which various vendors are trying to address. The presentation will be interactive, with questions welcome.

Outside Social: Friday March 22nd, 6 pm

Geocaching! The March equinox is an excuse to find 3 geocaches during the week of the equinox. If you've never geocached before, this is a great time to join us. Wear your hiking shoes, long sturdy pants, and otherwise dress for the weather.

We will chase 3 multi-caches that start to the east and north of St Marys Hospital https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC6G6R5 https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC5XDH0 https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC5XEQV

If we have any DNF's, first choice replacement will be: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC56K4K

I skimmed through the logs, and none of our regulars seem to have found these, so hopefully everyone will qualify for the achievement.

Parking: There is a limited quantity of 2 hour parking in St. Marys Park proper. However, the neighborhood parking permit restriction opens back up starting at 5:30, so by starting at 6 pm you should be able to park on the street (and not be competing with employees for spots) for the duration of our explorations.
