Arduino

I have an Arduino here, never used; new in packaging. This is an Arduino Uno, I guess the original, made in Italy. The kit contains the controller board, a 16 x 2 character LCD module (green screen), and a power supply. See wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arduino I will never use this, but I know someone can. Maybe a fun project for the right kid or parent/child combo to build something with it. Someone should come get this. I am conveniently located near Elm Park, not far from WPI and easy to find. You could drop by on your way to/from the meeting. I could tuck it away out of sight on the front porch for you, with your name on it. Liz J

Hey Gang, Our next meeting is going to be May 18th! at 7pm. We'll be meeting in the WPI Student Center Rm 129. (Go to the bottom of the stairs) Topic: Plex / Codi / RetroPi. or (So you've got a huge TV, what to do with? Watch movies and play retro computer games!!!) Everybody loves to watch movies, but DVD's scratch, get lost etc. A better way to manage your extensive collection is through programs such as Plex and Codi. As for speakers we're going to have a diverse group speaking at this meeting. I will be speaking about RetroPi. I'm looking for speakers for Plex / Codi. Write me or just show up! As usual, snacks and refreshments will be provided and after the meeting we'll head off to Tech Pizza. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

A coworker of mine went to ThotCon this weekend and came back with one of the badges. https://hackaday.io/project/21797-thotcon-0x8-badge I'll bring it along to show off. I'm also going to poke at it, but obviously not connected to anything I care about! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

So, are we decided on talking about Plex / Kodi? Is there enough there to turn into a whole meeting? Maybe we could do a Plex / RetroPi mashup meeting? Thanks, Tim.
