|
| |
|
| Do you wish there was an easy, cheap way for your micro-controllers to
| |
| talk to each other over a wireless link? If so, come and learn about the
| |
| Nordic nrf24L01+ type modules. These allow short range wireless
| |
| communication in the 2.4 GHz band. The nrf24L01+ is designed for PC
| |
| keyboard/mouse, remote controls, home automation, toys etc.
| |
|
| |
|
| There is available software to use the nrf24L01+ modules with common
| |
| boards such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone Black. The nrf24L01+
| |
| module can be added to these boards for about $1 per node, if ordered
| |
| directly from China. I'll talk a little about my experience ordering
| |
| directly from China.
| |
|
| |
|
| I will talk about the features of the nrf24L01+ and the software to use it. I will demo a sensor star network with a couple of them on Arduinos (what else?) sending data to an Arduino attached to a laptop as the base unit.
| | === Outdoor Social: Rochesterfest week === |
| | Lunch at RochesterFest. We'll be sitting at a picnic table on the far side of the tent from the music, to hopefully lower the decibel level enough to still talk. Date/time TBD. Gather around our organizer Mark. |

| If you are ready to break your New Years Resolutions, I will be bringing
| |
| German Chocolate cup cakes with coconut pecan frosting.

| === Upcoming Meeting Crisis! ===
| | MediaWiki help [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Text_color 1] [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_color_formatting_help 2] |
| Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2015. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Jon G with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad? Also see this page for a list of suggested topics http://www.k-lug.org/Meetings
