| I use Arduino based boards for various monitor and control projects. The Arduino has a variety of I/O functions (digital, analog, serial, spi,
| | === Virtual Social: Thursday August 14th === |
| etc) but reasonable user interfaces are limited. Permanent storage options are also limited.
| | 6 pm |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | Meeting link removed. |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | Anything else you want to see on the agenda? Let us know. |
| 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.
| |
| 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.

| | My experience with going on Monday night last year was that on-site parking was easy and free, some of the food trucks were open (including the milkshake stand), and many of the animals were already present including horse showings. I’ve also been told that many craft projects will already be present, so we can do a scavenger hunt for projects by people we know. |

| 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.

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
| |
| | |
| 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.

| Note that the signage is almost non-existent, they have a plain text-only sign on the appropriate door, but no big sign on the building. The parking lot there IS for customers, or you can park on the street. I won't be attending, you'll have to gather around someone else.

| === Technical Meeting: January 12th, 2017 ===
| |
|
| |
| Paul Zellweger and Jason Thompson of ArborWay Labs, on their automatic database application Studio. [http://k-lug.org/images/3/3f/ArborWayLabsJAN122017.pdf Handout / presentation outline]
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| ArborWay Labs presents a demonstration of its automatic relational technology or ART Studio
| |
|
| |
| ArborWay Labs will present a live demonstration of its automated
| |
| relational technology system called the ART Studio. It is a proof of concept that
| |
| generates database applications automatically using context-sensitive interfaces that
| |
| guide designers through our step-by-step process. In the first half of our presentation,
| |
| we will explain how and why our technology breaks new ground with the RDBMS on the
| |
| white board. Next, we will build a small database application from a 5-table database
| |
| system that will be posted on our server. The audience will be encouraged to browse
| |
| and explore the “100 Best TV Episodes database” on their own personal computing
| |
| devices. This part of the demonstration will be limited to smart phones, tablets, and
| |
| laptops. Stay tuned for the launch of our smart watch database applications in the
| |
| Summer’17.
| |
|
| |
| ArborWay Labs is a Rochester, MN based start-up that aims to change the way today’s
| |
| professionals build and distribute database applications. With ArborWay’s ART Studio,
| |
| database applications are generated by a design activity that automates the production
| |
| of SQL, object-relational mapping, and all code that was previously crafted by hand.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| It is rumored Dennis may be having a birthday (and providing cupcakes), and ArborWay is providing two pizzas.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Also, K-LUG officer elections, and PCIG officer nominations.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| 6 pm, in or near RCTC Heintz Center's HA107.

Joyce Park, in the SE corner of town. Use the on-street parking on 15th St SE to be near the LBB-required waiver and bags.
Bags provided. You bring your own gloves, grabbers, and sense of civic duty. Some pond shoreline, yes woods (mowed park + woods = 35.2 acres), and you might want a headlamp because sunset is at 6:41 pm.
As usual we are teaming up with the geocachers to avoid being overwhelmed by garbage.
Walking Cascade Lake in-person social (outside), Monday September 15th

Outdoor Social: Monday July 21st
Olmsted County Fair night! 6 pm.
My experience with going on Monday night last year was that on-site parking was easy and free, some of the food trucks were open (including the milkshake stand), and many of the animals were already present including horse showings. I’ve also been told that many craft projects will already be present, so we can do a scavenger hunt for projects by people we know.
Map here. At 6 pm we’ll meet at the parking lot (red star on the map, central to the “block”), and if you want to catch up to us a little later, try around the Graham Arena buildings adjacent to the green star on the south end of the fairgrounds.

Outdoor Social: Thursday June 26th, 11:30 am
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. Also trying to get line of sight on the pet events, like frisbee dogs.
Food trailers are supposed to be open by 11 am, 11:30 am will give us a little better chance at getting parking.

Mini golf outside social, Wednesday May 14th
6 pm
Blue Lagoon mini golf, the new mini golf place that opened late last fall, on the NW side of town
Unlike most of our events, this social is not free, pricing is here. The second round is significantly cheaper ($5/person), so if we finish in good time we might try to squeeze in a second round before they close at 8 pm.

Outdoor Social: Geocaching hike, equinox weekend, Friday March 21st
6 pm
We'll start at the dog park just north of Essex Park (red circle) for a short walk. Then depending on the walking conditions, we'll walk or drive to the two caches NE of that dog park (orange circle), and then down to the one Essex Park cache that we haven't chased recently (yellow circle).
Join us at the March 13th meeting to help pick a day/time/location to help us meet the equinox souvenir criteria.
Afterwards, we'll drive to 25th Street and 25th Avenue NW, in the residential neighborhood just south of IBM park, for a locationless geocache.
