6 pm


Board games!  Time to play.  We're going to use the same option we used in 2020: [https://en.boardgamearena.com/ Board Game Arena] - it is known, many of us already have accounts, and it is free.  If you didn't play with us last year, you can save a little time on Friday night by creating your account ahead of time.


6 pm, in or near RCTC Heintz Center's HA108.
And because it's more fun to video chat while we game together, don't forget to also log into our [https://meet.jit.si/klugpcig video chat room].

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...
[https://meet.jit.si/klugpcig Meeting link here.]


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.
There is no moderator when using this software, so if we get invaded we will have to bail and figure out a different session ID and then also definitely use a password, that'd go out by email and/or wiki update ASAP.


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.
Agenda:  Nothing in particular.


I will talk about the hardware and software for these projects and do a couple of demos.
