+ | If you have time check out: [[Project DYI Whiteboard]] Thanks to Vishay Semiconductors we have some sample High Power Infrared Emitting Diode, 950 nm, GaAlAs/GaAs. I have a Wiimote, so we will put together some light pens and try this out. | ||

− | + | Other focus for this year: Printed ciruits using the PIC Microcontroller. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | If you have a computer we want to set it up with the SourceBoost C compiler and Eagle Printed Circuit CAD program ( both in their free versions ) Finally you will want to get parts to run a serial bootloader. We will discuss this in the next meeting. | |
