• March 27, 28, & 29
• All times CDT

March 27 (Fri):

• Arduino is expected to have livestream most of the day (Have not seen a specific schedule)

March 28 (Sat):

• 10a - 12p - HABEX Monthly Update - "Arduino & LoRaWAN" - Seeeduino LoRaWAN (J. Choate) - Hands-on pair/group.

- The first hour will be a presentation of the HABEX2 project and the hardware.

- The second hour 2 will be a hands on familiarization with the SEEEDuino LoRaWAN board. I have 3x boards. You'll need a computer to program them. Intend to do blink and GPS.

• 1p - 4p - "Beginner git User Intro" (Daniel Morely)

- This is intended for persons who have no experience using change management in their programming.

- Participants will need to have git installed on their laptop before the presentation (or arrive early to install it).

- All git operations will be on the local machine, no network services are required.

Unscheduled (at this time):

• Wanna get Weird? Plan 9 on Raspberry Pi (J. Choate) - 2 hrs. - Hands-on as you will need a Raspberry Pi & Computer to program it.
• Plan 9 Installation on Raspberry Pi 3 -- https://web.archive.org/web/20200111162735/http://ssz.com/Projects/RPi_Plan9_Install.html

• Karakuri Robotics w/ Arduino (or other SBC) (J. Choate) - 4+ hrs. - Hands-on group project. We will build a very simple Karakuri robot out of Bass/Balsa wood, string, straws, etc. along with motors and solenoids instead of the traditional spring or gravity drop used by the original Japanes builders. We'll have a supply stock on hand, but feel free to bring additional material.

To Do:

• ESP32 (We have several ESP32s and ESP32 WROOM boards available) - Volunteer?

• BeagleV-Fire (Has an SOC FPGA) - I have one board and have done a couple of projects with it, very beginner. The toolchain for this is mostly provided by Beagle online (though I do have the toolchain installed locally as well). - Volunteer?

• Arduino Uno Q - I have one board and hope to have at least got blink done by the target date. - Volunteer?
