<pre class="k9mail">Now that we've been gently and repeatedly egged on by certain members of <br />the group (don't worry Dan, I won't mention your name :-) ) to come up <br />with presentations/demos for LUG meets, I have two suggestions. I'd like <br />to know if there is any interest - as they are not strictly Linux stuff:<br /><br />1. Design electronic circuits on veroboard/stripboard using Fritzing.<br /><br />Fritzing is an open-source software (available for Linux, OSX and the <br />Other OS(tm)) for designing electronic circuits. It contains a library <br />of electronic components, and it can design schematic circuits, PCB <br />boards, breadboards and stripboard/veroboard circuits. I only just <br />delved into it because of my work on the micro-irrigation system - but <br />it is a very user-friendly and low-entry way to design and mess about <br />with the layout of electronic circuits - before actually implementing <br />them. Suitable for Arduino or any other
electronic projects. Avoids lots <br />of solder/unsolder cycles - it turns out that "Undo" in software is <br />faster than in real life :-)<br /><br />2. As some of you already know, I've been working on an automatic <br />micro-irrigation system based on Arduino. I am in the testing phase - <br />and if there is any interest, I could bring it along and demo it before <br />I install it in its permanent position.<br /><br /><br />I am pretty much ready with number 1, but number 2 depends on a few <br />parts which are still to arrive and on me having enough time to fit them <br />before the September meet.<br /><br />Any thoughts?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><hr /><br />Liverpool mailing list<br />Liverpool@mailman.lug.org.uk<br /><a href="https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/liverpool">https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/liverpool</a><br /></pre></blockquote></div><br>
