Looks correct. I approved it on the calendar so you should see it live now.

I love Pico Pi

Since the first Sunday is so filled with committee meetings would it be better in the future to host the meetings on the third Sunday instead or any other preferred Sunday of the month work better for everyone? Just want to get a gameplan going forward.
Not a bad board but not very good low-power performance (sucks battery).
Much more popular chips these days are the various flavors of ESP32. Can program in C, C#, Python, etc. with excellent free IDEs (I prefer Visual Studio) that kick the crap out of the sh1t that is the abysmal Arduino development environment.
The first Arduino hate post ^^^^^^
“There he goes again”
I see your tag as the electronics chair. Once I have people sign to make the SIG do I just email it to you? Also reading the wiki right now and it says to attend the committee meeting for electronics, but I haven’t yet found when those meetings are.
Also are you okay with me moving the wiki over to source or is it so outdated that’s better to not? Working on getting the wiki to source is going to be my main volunteer project this week, but I only want it to be helpful for you not detrimental.
Haha. Once you use a real development environment you’ll get it
Oh I get it. Just currently don’t need it. For the new kids on the block, a pro ide is probably more of an impediment than advantage. Another learning curve to deal with just to turn on the blinky lite. Guessing most don’t understand breakpoints, labels, traces, register dumps, etc, etc, etc. If you need all that stuff to coerce your code to do your bidding, maybe you should take a time out and use a different approach? Jus sayin…
Taking a look at the wiki. The wiki tool listing needs updating. Have some suggestions on the SIG. Will send you DM soon.
Art - Nah. The better IDEs actually make things much easier. Things like Intellisence, code completion, the ability to hover over a variable and see its type (and if at a breakpoint, its value) make things MUCH easier.
The Arduino IDE has none of this. It was written by people that don’t have to use it.
Just wanted to update everyone here that I’ve moved the event to the North Lobby Classroom because we have gotten so many sign ups. I will post this in the lab and have updated the event as well.
I wanted to introduce myself to the gentleman in this SIG who works with DJ controllers. I was wanting to talk about different projects. Please reach out!
Thank you all for a first great meeting! It was great to get to know all of you and I am so happy to have learned so much from each of you. I will get the next event with agenda up for March 9th soon!
