<br>
First meeting of 2019. HNY, and all the best.<br>
<br>
Enthusiastic turnout with 25 attendees, and lots of huddles-of <br>
tech-talk. $31 + change (in gold, and flat-money) collected and <br>
transferred into the robotics loose-change jar (for later banking).<br>
<br>
Quick reminder: equipment donations are welcome for the trading table, <br>
but no CRT based product, printers, toner or items that are likely to be <br>
a disposal burden. All sales from the trading table should go into the <br>
brown box on the wall, and are directly for the benefit of our host <br>
club, NZART Branch 05.<br>
<br>
Guests included David Eccles from linux-conf, and Graham Christie who <br>
professionally fabricated many of the Science Alive exhibits over the years.<br>
<br>
With thanks on behalf of the group,<br>
<br>

============<br>
<br>
William displayed the latest build of his home-made 8 bit machine. Now <br>
built on PCBs, (including a back-plane), and installed in a metal enclosure.<br>
<br>
David Eccles is attending linux-conf as a speaker. He was kind enough to <br>
give us a sneak preview of his Thursday morning talk about DIY DMA <br>
sequencing.<br>
<br>
David Burke was recently given an anonymous looking power supply unit. <br>
Upon closer inspection, it appears to be an upgrade for a Lime Scooter <br>
allowing independent operation(?).<br>
<br>
Darren demonstrated a Tamagotchi (early 2000s virtual pet) life support <br>
system. Implementation used open-CV image recognition to identify <br>
required action (clean up mess, feed, pet etc).<br>
<br>
Robin Gilks kindly brought a box of LCDs from his employer (Delta <br>
Strike) with donations going to our host club.<br>
<br>
Trevor brought in several of dead uSD cards to test on a local Linux <br>
machine. He talked a little about his experiences.<br>
