Re: [Wlug] Ideas for Sept Meeting?

by JeffA Maillists

How about another BBQ, since I missed the last one, LOL! (J/K) The topic of 'kids-oriented programming, circuits and robotics' sounds good to me. ;-) Somewhere in my house I have an old R/C tank that my Dad gave to my son when he was 5. And then when he was just 6 years old, my Dad passed, so the tank became even more valueable to Joe. But somewhere along the line, it died (electronically, probably due to Joe playing with it in the snow, LOL!), so I started to convert it to use an Arduino to control it, and intended to intended to use Bluetooth modules to communicate between the Arduino controlling the motors and the Arduino reading the controls on the remote. But, alas, like many of the projects that I start, I got side-tracked by life and never got back to it... But I could probably find it and 'ressurect' the project in time for the meeting and do a little 'show-and-tell' about it. Heck, maybe I can use it to get my son (who's now 24) into programming and electroncis... ;-) Jeff I don't have anything to contribute, but I'd love to hear what others are doing in this area. ---- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.

For a long time I was using NX (or FreeNX) on my work desktop so I could connect between a windows box and a linux desktop using Synergy to map the keyboard/mouse between systems as I moved the mouse between my desktops. That was using the 'nomachine.com' software, though I used the freenx stuff. But after a while it got to be too painful, and now that I mostly work on a windows laptop for work (due to the work VPN requirements) I don't tend to do anything beyond lots of putty sessions in which I run screen. I've tried MobaXterm, but never really liked it, even though it does offer native X display, so you can fire up remote graphical tools. This would work better if I wasnt' 80-100 miliseconds of lag (basically across the entire US) distant from the remote systems I manage and work on. Much as I hate to say it, I've sometimes just fallen back to VNC when I need to fire up a web browser to download a 5-10gb ISO image to do a system install.
