The door should open before 6:30pm, and as usual, the evening will start with an informal get together. At around 7:15 we move onto the talks-from-the-front. Feel free to forward this notice to anyone who you think might be interested in visiting us : "as well as an interest in all things robotic, we have a membership with interests ranging from radio, embedded computing (including Arduino, Raspberry Pi), also high-vacuum systems, FPGA design, solar power, and electric vehicles, to name but a few". As usual, guests are most welcome, so please bring friends. Also, this is a very low-key event with people arriving and leaving as they feel fit. Hope to see you Monday evening, Mark PS if you have any copper wire or cable, or scrap aluminum that you could like to donate, please consider bringing it along to the meeting. Our host club has regular runs to the scrap yard, and this is a real money-spinner for them. PPS Happy to accept electrical/electronic donations for the trading table, as long as the equipment does not contain significant amounts of glass, plastic or wood. Such examples are CRT TVs/monitors, printers, or document scanners. NB All proceeds from the evening go directly to our host club, Christchurch Amateur Radio club, NZART BR05.
