Zoom meeting 16th June 8pm BST

[Graeme Dunbar]

We decided on a date in June at our April meeting.

I was asked if I could say a few words about the Arduino microcontroller. If there are any specific aspects people would like to see covered then please say so and I will try to oblige (if I am able).

Any member is welcome to join us. We are still finding our feet as to what aspects of electronics is most useful as regards to 009 modelling so suggestions are helpful.

Hi Graeme,

Yes, the initial Arduino download and access to the 'C' libraries would be useful for me. My "Elegoo" DVD instructions seem a bit 'Chinese' and difficult to follow...

Cheers,
Dave

[Graeme Dunbar]

Thanks Dave - I'll give it a go!

[Stephen Rainsbury]

Are we still on for this evening?

[Graeme Dunbar]

Yes, just setting up now.

Hi All

I can see and hear everyone but can't actually take part verbally !

I'm new to Zoom !

Hi Graeme,

Thanks for that. I must say, you guys are way beyond me ! (I'm still trying to take the first 'baby' steps...).

I find "Switch Electronics" a very good and reasonably priced supplier of electronic components.

I've also been given a Tektronics scope' which my brother-in-law was just about to throw out. (User manual on the internet recently found !)

I hope to have the various 'Zoom' controls sorted out by the next meeting...

Regards,
Dave

Hi Dave,

I am glad you were able to make it. I was not sure if you were hearing what was going on thought it did look like you were connected.

If you would like me to go through some of the steps in setting up and using Arduino I am more than happy to try a one-to-one Zoom.

All the best,

Graeme

[Dave Cooper]

Thanks Graeme,

Yes, I was able to hear (but, not necessarily follow) everything that was said.

A 'one-to-one' Zoom sounds great except I don't know how to work the various Zoom controls once in a meeting...

I tried mic on /off, unmute /mute, camera on /off, projector on /off etc. all to no avail ! All this on-screen and on the keyboard 'function' keys. Perhaps, I joined the meeting in the wrong way ? (I used your http... link).

I think what I need is something like "Once in the meeting, find this key /icon and do this with it !"

Thanks for any assistance,
Dave

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your kind comments. I'm sure we can figure out a way that works for both of us if we try a one-to-one. In the past I've talked someone through setting up Zoom over the phone.
