The Cowtown Computer Congress

CCCKC just received a nice size shipment of the Arduino Duemilanove for our Arduino study group. What is a Arduino you might ask. The short answer to quote “wired” magazine. “The Arduino platform lies somewhere between Technic Lego and the low level geek world of circuit building. It consists of two parts; the hardware and the software, and with these you can build almost anything, from a simple flashing light to a box of tricks that sends you a Twitter message when your houseplants get thirsty. “

In the past CCCKC member have used the Arduino to control the The LabyWiinth Project

Our study group will meet on Tuesday evenings  @ 6pm in conjunction with our maker night. Our first class will be an introduction to the Arduino,  laying the ground work for projects to come.  If you missed out on our group buy for the Arduino fear not they can be purchased locally from the H.M.S beagle store or alternatively we can have another group buy saving you a couple of bucks.
