Arduino Night

By Usako on January 14, 2015

THIS CLASS STARTS AT 8, NOT 7!!!!! In the last class we went over the basics of serial communication. This class will dive a little deeper into serial by using Python to talk to the Arduino instead of the Arduino IDE’s serial monitor. This will enable the sending of more complicated data than just ASCII […]

Artemis Night @ Unallocated Space – Jan 31st

By Usako on January 14, 2015

Come out to Unallocated Space Saturday, Jan 31st for a special LAN gaming night featuring Artemis Space Bridge Simulator, the awesome game where you get to crew your very own spaceship. (Think the bridge on Star Trek. Yes, this is going to be GREAT!!) If you already have the game, good. If not, don’t worry. […]

SDRCON

By forgotten on January 5, 2015

Come out to SDRcon on January 10th, 2015 starting at 10AM! What is SDRcon? It is a whole day dedicated to Software Defined Radio and radio in general. There will be hands on activities as well as a few talks. This is not just for hams! The topics will include: Building GNU Radio from source. […]

Arduino Night (5 Dec 7-10 PM)

By proto on December 4, 2014

Having finished the seven segment projects, it’s time to move on to something a little more demanding. We will take a look at serial communications with the Arduino. We will go over what serial actually is, and how it is sent. Then we will dig into actually communicating between the laptop and Arduino by having […]

FPGA Night (2 Dec, 7-10 PM)

By proto on November 30, 2014

We will continue work on the spectrum analyzer project. This class will focus on testing the uart_comms module (handles the serial protocol) and using it to control the frequency of a sine wave. This code will be used in the final code as a way of ensuring things are working properly. The next step will […]

NSM Intro and Discussion

By forgotten on November 20, 2014

Over time, I’ve heard many people ask various questions about Network Security Monitoring (NSM)…. there seems to be a few people that work NSM and a few that are curious… What I expect to cover: What is Network Security Monitoring (NSM)? What tools are available? What do they give you and how to use them […]

Arduino Night (21 Nov, 7-10 PM)

By proto on November 20, 2014

We will continue working with the 7 segments. This class will introduce bit shifting and creating custom functions. Both of these topics will be used to display things on the 7 segments. If you have your own 7 segment, feel free to bring it. There will be several to choose from if you need one. […]

Please come by our table and say ‘Hi’ or if you have time to help man the table, we are in need of volunteers!! 😀 Brick Nation, a Lego Fan […]

FPGA Night (11 Nov, 7-10 PM)

By proto on November 9, 2014

This is going to be the first of two classes for creating the VHDL module that will allow changes to be made on the fly via a USB to serial adapter. We created a framing protocol for sending data last class. We will start this one by implementing that framing protocol. There will also be […]

Arduino Night (31 Oct, 7-10 PM)

By proto on October 30, 2014

Since class was cancelled last week, I will have the same slides ready for this week. If not enough people show up, then I will do the same class again on the 7th. So don’t fret if you can’t make it 🙂 We will be using 7 segment displays. Two new topics will be covered: […]

CANCELLED — Arduino Night (24 Oct, 7-10 PM)

By proto on October 19, 2014

Tonight’s class has been cancelled due to an emergency that has come up. We will pick back up next Friday. We will be using 7 segment displays. Two new topics will be covered: sinking current and C arrays. If you have your own 7 segment, feel free to bring it. There will be several to […]

FPGA Night (21 Oct, 7-10 PM)

By proto on October 19, 2014

Last week we created a test bench to make sure the new buffered serial RX module was working properly. This time we will be doing the same thing to the TX side. Creating the buffered serial TX will be mostly on your own work. Then we will work together to get the test bench up […]

Arduino Night (17 Oct, 7-10 PM)

By proto on October 15, 2014

We will be using push buttons to change the brightness of an LED one step at a time. During the course of this little project, we will also cover de-bouncing buttons. If time permits, we will start with Serial communications. Agenda: 1. How push buttons work 2. How to connect the buttons 3. Reading push […]
