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...
Agenda includes:


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.
PCIG officer nominations and elections


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.
Discussions of your plans for Pi day on Sunday, how you plan to compensate for the lost hour of sleep, possibly Texas infrastructure outage stories, anything else you care to share.


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