Anything else you want to see on the agenda? Let Tina know.


As some of you know I have working with my brother on his river water quality monitor project. He is the director of the Prairie Waters Education and Research Center near Valley City North Dakota (http://www.vcsu.edu/prairiewaters/). One of their programs is River Watch (http://www.vcsu.edu/prairiewaters/river-watch) where high school students monitor a river in their area.


The monitor system is a solar powered data logger recording timestamp, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and conductivity.


Last fall I sent out a message asking what parts of the project people were interested in. I got 2 responses one asking how we picked components and one asking about solar power.
=== Technical presentation: Thursday February 9th, 2023 ===


To cover these, the presentation will describe the history and evolution of the project over the last couple of years. It will be at a high to medium level. (I already covered specifics of the Bluetooth and WiFi interfaces in previous talks.)
Tim Massaro will give us a demonstration on Dalle2:


I will also go through some of the problems and data that was collected last fall. Finally I'll demo the current WiFi interface using the actual hardware.
Is anyone interested or knowledgeable in chatGPT, I haven't had time to look into it enough for a demo, but I have looked into Dalle2 enough to present a short demo. My understanding is Dalle2 uses ChatGTP to dynamically produce very interesting artwork based on user input such as "show me an impressionistic image of a Monkey riding a dinosaur along a beach at sunset".
