  • Did we order more exacto-blade sets, the small snips?
  • Do you want help doing a tool inventory/posting it to the ops folder?
  • What do you think about a daytime session?

-- for many of these, see hacking section of Arduino site

To Do

  • investigate Chumby (see Tom for details so far) CARLYN
    • Chumby Using/Hacking session
  • Adjust PCB etching tutorial - update to include proper labeling of waste material (maybe already done?)
  • Arduino and AVR to do's:
    • Add schematic and second module to Arduino on bread-board CARLYN
    • Arduino ShiftIn
    • String library
    • Atmega 128x/Zigbee onboard - investigate
    • Test Arduino/Wiring bootloader on AT Crumbs from Chip45
    • Do a version of the AVR-C tutorial for shop wiki TODD
      • integrate with Arduino (i.e. explain how avr-libc functions are used in Arduino)
    • Check AVR programmers, write a tutorial on using them TODD
      • Update with AVRISPmkII instructions
    • try these instructions for using USB ones on OSX, confirm that they work
    • Investigate PDuino/Firmata and D.Tools firmwares for Arduino (esp. Firmata) CARLYN
  • Electronics tutorials for specific chips TODD
  • Check PIC programmers, fix broken CARLYN
  • check multimeters TODD
  • Tutorial on Sparkfun embedded unix board

  • Check transistor/motor circuit and relay circuit on pin 13 of Arduino NG. TODD
    • We already know (from John's tests) that an LED on that pin doesn't light up well because there's already an LED and a resistor on that pin, soldered on the module. I want to know what other common digital input and output tasks are affected by that circuit on that pin.
