Join us April 17th, 2010 for our monthly meeting. Our meetings start at 10:00am and last until 1:00pm, although we usually adjourn a bit early to have a Chinese buffet. Everyone is welcome to attend. If you are curious about robotics please stop by. Bring your current project, in any state of completion, for show and tell or to ask for help. Our members come from a wide range of professions and are more than willing to lend a hand.

May meeting leader: WinfieldMike
Topic: using the Ardupilot to control an autonomous electric airplane
Summary: The Ardupilot is an inexpensive microcontroller based circuit board that interfaces with a GPS unit to control a model airplane. All aspects of using the Ardupilot will be covered including assembly, interfacing with the GPS and R/C equipment, programming, and extraction of GPS data. A demonstration flight is planned for the Sunday following the meeting weather permitting. Here is a link to the Ardupilot web page.

May meeting leader: Nick
Summary: Nick will demonstrate the Xbee radio/receiver and how to interface it to an Arduino. The Xbee is an extremely interesting and capable wireless device that can be used to send data from a sensor back to your microcontroller, or can allow two microcontrollers to talk to each other. Here is a link to the manufacturers website.
