We meet at 6:30pm on the second Tuesday of each month at the Farmington Community Library.
Our Topics include:
Raspberry Pi
Raspberry Pi is a credit card sized computer that runs Linux for $35. It’s built to use peripherals that many homes or schools have lying around, and it’s got a set of general-purpose I/O pins that come in handy for the kinds of DIY electronics projects made famous by the Arduino and friends. Though initially inspired by the 8-bit machines of the 80’s that introduced kids to the wonders of computing and electronics, it’s also found its way into the workshops and entertainment centers of adults. Les Ochard will present a quick overview of the Raspberry Pi & the Foundation behind it. He’ll also talk about things people have done with the Raspberry Pi, and attempt a quick demo of it hooked up to a Macbook, an Arduino, a LCD display, and more.
Les Orchard is a web developer for the Mozilla Corporation who collects small linux computers and likes seeing what kinds of things they can plug into.
And we’ll also have our normal MUG meeting features: Jobs Looking For People, People Looking for Jobs, news and events, and much much more.
