For the most part the discussion was about updating the Wiki. We are wanting the Wiki to be more "user" friendly and updated more often. It was agreed that a committee be put in place. Four people volunteered to help James with the project. So be looking for some new changes with the Wiki in the future.

Show and tell was:

James presented his Cheap Generic LED Sequencer. It was designed for a project that ProfessorConrad was working on.

It is a very generic, cheap, and easy to reproduce device. Based on the Attiny24/44/84 processor from Atmel.

Nyssa's project was a cool flashing LED effect that she needed (don't we all?). James made a generic LED sequencing board and she made it groovy. By using a few materials (hot glue, a jar, a bowl, cardboard, more hot glue...) that she had laying about, she was able to create a groovy glue based ambient lighting jar.

And last, but far from least, Professor Conrad brought his pPod. In response to the I-Pod, our Professor has mounted a car radio inside a large Pea Pod. When hooked to external speakers, we are told it has great sound. It will be a new addition to his band of strange and wonderful things.
