This page is for the Westport High School Robotics Club, other clubs are welcome to use this page as well, as long as the content makes sense for the club, other material should go on other pages.  This years page a lot like last year's page, but different. Last year's page moved to [[2008 Westport High School Page]]

This page is not always up to date, how much I update it depends upon how much feedback I get from club members, and howmuch news I have.  Last updated

Meeting will take place on in the room as last year.  Thanks to Mr Renehan for being the Teacher sponsor for the club.  Please do some recruiting for the club we need a few more members.  The meetings here are in reverse order so more recent ( or future ones ) are at the top.  Expect meetings every Tuesday school is in session.

*Tuesday Oct 13 probably.  We will try to start real work.
  
−
Past meetings:
 
−
*Some undocumented meetings, more light, arrays, and communication with the PC.
 
−
*Tuesday Oct 20.  More messing around with Arduino.  Perhaps sensors and motors, perhaps not. 
 
−
**As an assignment go to instructables and search on Arduino. Find a project to tell us about that you think is interesting.  It does not have to be a project you want to do. This link will do the search for you [[http://www.instructables.com/tag/?q=Arduino&limit:type:id=on&sort=POPULAR Instructables serach results for Arduino]]
 
−
**Think about buying an Arduino.  I will do a write up you can show to your parents. 
 
−
**Load the Arduino and Processing software on your computer.  You should see the page [[Beginners Setup for Arduino and Processing]] for the setup you will need.

*Tuesday Oct 13.  We will start real work.  Mr. H. will bring 2 computers, some Arduino's, cables, and some stuff: sensors, led's and motors.

This year we are going to switch our attention to Arduino based projects ( but as usual any electronics platform is open for consideration ).  See: [[Microcontrollers for Beginners]].  We will also connect the Arduino to our PC so that programs on the can talk to programs on the PC and programs on the Arduino can talk to each other.  You should see the page [[Beginners Setup for Arduino and Processing]] for the setup you will need.
