Did you used to be on our email list and suddenly haven't gotten email for months?  We had a glitch and it caused many people to get unsubscribed; unfortunately Tina doesn't have a way of knowing who all we lost.  Please use "Linux mailing list" on the left to get yourself re-added, sorry!

Dennis DeLorme, "Arduino at Sea".

The original plan was to update the "Solar UV Intensity" project I did three years ago on a Pacific island cruise. I presented some of the Arduino to Android interface changes last July.
 
But what else does an Arduino addict do when faced with an 80 day Asia/Pacific cruise? Put a bunch of extra Arduinos and I/O modules in a box and put it in his carry-on "just in case".
 
In addition to the UV measurement results I will talk about 2 other projects...
 
1) A scrolling Halloween message on an LCD display - they did some Halloween themed things on Oct 31. I used the user defined character feature to build a pumpkin image as part of the message.
 
2) A temperature data logger that recorded the temperatures in 6 min intervals for several hours to document problems with the A/C in our cabin. I uploaded the data from the Arduino to our laptop via Bluetooth and used LibraOffice to to graph the data.
 
I will talk about the hardware and software for these projects and do a couple of demos.
