[chbot] Robotics Group meeting, Monday 17th Sept 2018, 6:30pm, 5 Idris Road : ARM special

[Mark Atherton]

Hi All,

Just a quick reminder that our next meeting is on Monday. Please bring 
along any projects that you have been working on, along with a healthy 
curiosity, and maybe some off-the-wall ideas and suggestions.

As usual, the evening will start with an informal get together. Around 
7:30 (maybe a bit later) we move into the more formal 
unprepared-talks-from-the-front. This is a very low-key event with 
people arriving and leaving as they feel fit.

Dave Jagger has kindly agreed to do a talk about some of his adventures 
while working for ARM. For many years, he was the architect for this 
incredibly popular RISC, starting with the ARM 7 TDMI. More recently, 
ARM implementations have appeared in many new devices seen in our group 
including the Raspberry Pi, Beagle Bone Black, STM32xxx, and very 
probably your smartphone.

Happy to accept electrical/electronic donations for our host club's 
trading table, but they can't accept product with significant amounts of 
glass or plastic such as CRT TVs, CRT monitors, printers or document 
scanners.

As usual, guests are most welcome; hope to see you there.

Regards, Mark

PS if you have any type of copper wire or cable that you would like to 
donate, please consider bringing it along to the meeting. Our host club 
has regular runs to the scrap yard, and copper is a real money-spinner 
for them.
