LA Arduino Monthly Meetup

Let's get together to have talks, discussions and share our experiences with Arduino.

For this time we are going to have:

• Leslie Brothers (https://www.meetup.com/LA-Arduino/members/27067152/?a=viewBioRsvpList_showBio): presenting one of her projects called "Peepers".

"Peepers are shy creatures that poke their heads up cautiously when no one is near, but quickly duck back down when someone approaches.

A Maxbotics ultrasound distance sensor detects proximity, while smallservos with pulleys and springs move the creatures in response."

• Typer Calderone (https://www.meetup.com/LA-Arduino/members/80262842/?a=viewBioRsvpList_showBio): talking about a "Daft Punk Helment" that he is building.

"A custom PCB manufactured for this project. Each PCB has 56 LEDs on it, with 8 more outputs tied to a series of 4 LEDs (strips), for a total of 176 LEDs (two sides/PCBs). Each PCB is controlled via a max7219 7-segment display driver, which is in turn controlled by a single Arduino. The Arduino gets input from a mic, which I break down to read the spectrum of sound, to display on the 7x8 LED matrix, per PCB, while "scrolling" the 8 strips. Not completely done yet, but most of it's working."

We are still having room for more talks.

Formal Talks

30 minutes to 1 hour+ presentations and/or demos about topics, ideas or projects, Arduino related.

Lightning Talks
