Arduino/Raspberry Pi User’s Group

This Month: Come join us Monday evening, 7pm at the space for the monthly Raspberry Pi / Arduino Users Group meetup (ARPUG for short). This month we'll be learning about the ESP family of gadgets, amazing little gizmos with all sorts of cool uses! We'll go through the available options (there are dozens), talk about some of the cool things you can do with them and finally there will be a demo of the ESP32 Weather Station design that I've been working on. It is a solar powered station that will serve up a web page with a graph of temperature, humidity and pressure for the last twenty four hours! And the best part - you can build your own station... for under $20! Yes, under $20 including solar panel, batteries, everything!

Although it’s called the Arduino/Raspberry Pi group, it consists of anyone interested in using or learning about what Charles aptly coined as “Tiny Computers”. That could be an Arduino to make a doggy treat dispenser, ESP32’s for home automation or even image recognition on a Pi to identify and then discourage the neighbor’s cat from chasing birds. Anything you can imagine that uses a tiny computer that you build and program…

We run monthly talk/presentation on topics of interest to the group. Might be a demonstration of a cool new project or maybe an educational talk on some technology such as options for powering your projects (solar? battery?) or low power techniques.

Come join us and see what’s happening in the world of tiny computers.
