A reminder that the MUUG meeting will be this evening, both in person and online...
The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting IN PERSON, on Tuesday, March 4th, at 7:30pm. Yes, that's the FIRST Tuesday of the month...
Raspberry Pi Sensors
Wyatt will present I2C sensors on a Raspberry Pi. While many have come to use the Raspberry Pi simply as a mini linux computer with regular USB peripherals, one of the unique features of the Pi is its 40 GPIO pins which include support for the I2C (inter-integrated circuit) protocol. This low level communication protocol opens a wide array of small sensors available for use with the Pi. Wyatt will demo the basics of connecting I2C sensors to the Pi, and some of the software that can interact with them.
March Door Prize
Along with our usual selection of e-books, Wyatt Zacharias has acquired for MUUG two Pi Zero W 2's along with two Pi SD cards for us to give away! One set will be given away at the March meeting, and the other in April.
Where to find the Meeting: Fortress Software Inc., 350 Keewatin St -- Unit #2
We have a new in-person meeting location now! Brad Vokey has graciously let us use his work office for our next in-person meeting. The meeting room will be open by 7:00 pm, with the actual meeting starting at 7:30 pm. If driving, enter the lot using the most north east entrance and drive around to the south west corner of the building (see route in map detail on poster linked below). You can use any of the free, ample, and safe parking spots that say "reserved" in front of units #1 through #4 before entering unit #2. Bus stops #30814 and #30880 (route 77) are only 150 meters away. The last bus leaves for Polo Park at 10:15 pm and for Garden City at 10:31 pm. Logan Ave. bus routes #19, #26, and #27 are a 600 meter (8 minute) walk to the south.
For those unable or preferring not to attend in person, the meeting will also be available online, using BBB as usual. Stay tuned to our muug.ca home page for the official URL, which will be made available about a half hour before the meeting starts. (Reload the page if you don't see the link, or if there are issues with connecting.)
The group now holds its meetings at 7:30pm on the *first* Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend.
