Technical Meeting: Thursday January 14th
Dennis DeLorme on a recent basement project - the $2 wireless link.
--
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.
If you are ready to break your New Years Resolutions, I will be bringing German Chocolate cup cakes with coconut pecan frosting.
-- Post-meeting addition - here are the slides he has provided.
6 pm, in or near RCTC Heintz Center's HA107.

-K-LUG’s annual officer elections – president, vice president, treasurer. Nominations or self-nominations for these positions please.

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