I know I haven't been ot a meeting in a *long* time, but I do hope to make one this spring if I can. Right now I'm playing with Arduino controller boards on my Ubuntu desktop. Fun blinky LEDs, etc.

And loads of others in google. It's pretty neat to play with, and it's interesting moving from the IDE (which has a sucky editor) to a more pure Emacs/Makefile driven setup.

I figure maybe I could come and demo this at some point. Any interest? Loosely Linux related, since I'll be using an Ubuntu LiveCD and thumb drive to setup and demo the environment.

Hi John, I've recently become very interested in this myself, and I plan to purchase an Arduino in a day or two and start playing around, since I have time these days (between jobs). If you'd like to come to WLUG in February to demo your Arduino, I think that would be great. Feel free to contact me off-list with the particulars if you care to proceed. Thanks!
