Featured Presentation
Nick Presents RPi/ESP8266/ESP32/Arduino (basic/intermediate)
In this presentation we will cover the differences between a microcontroller and a microprocessor and when you might want to use each, what "Arduino" means from a hardware and software development perspective, and what other devices and development environments are available for Internet-connected projects.

Nick has been in the IT field for over 20 years, primarily with a background in Linux administration and network engineering, and more recently information security. He has been an amateur radio operator for over 20 years as well and currently holds an extra-class license. He enjoys fiddling with microcontrollers and embedded Linux single-board computers, flying RC aircraft, playing PC games and reading science fiction. Most recently he's added restoration of 680x0-era Macintoshes to his hobbies list as well.

Lightning Talks
Jimmer - "I wanted something for monitoring the washer and dryer in the communal basement using vibration sensors.
I'll plan on running the laundrybot through my cellphone wifi for the demo portion."

Dane - "This is an 8-bit computer project utilizing a Zilog Z80 CPU. It's currently running in a bare-bones configuration to input single bytes and display the results of calculations. Physically, it's made of multiple circuit boards that stack together similar to Arduino shields, so I can add HW functionality over time. There's no OS right now, it just runs assembly programs written to an EPROM. It can calculate a Fibonacci sequence and prime numbers. I'll soon add a DAC for generating waveforms (sine, square, sawtooth, etc.) and a serial port. I want to add Bluetooth... but that's pretty ambitious."

We'll look forward to seeing you there!
