Jasper PhD, PE When: Thursday, 10 October 2019 - 6:45pm to 9:00pm Where: NCSU College of Textiles, 1020 Main Campus Dr., Room 2207 Parking: Underground parking deck immediately adjacent to the building (https://trilug.org/meetings/) Map: Google Maps will get you close, but use the NCSU College of Textiles link for proper directions to building Video: This Presentation will not be recorded Speaker notes Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/trilug/events/mnstrqyznbnb/ Summary I recently wrote a "driver" to interface my Raspberry Pi to a bluetooth data acquisition board in Python. There are some interesting subtleties in talking to a device in Python that may be of interest to the beginner as well as the intermediate Linux user. This talk will cover some of the basics of how Bluetooth is implemented in Linux with Python. Bio Dr. Jasper has been interested in real-time data acquisition and control since his undergraduate days when he measured the variation the earth's gravity due to the tides. Although he has worked in the aerospace industry designing spacecraft altitude and control systems, he currently designs data acquisition and control systems for textile processes. His research interests include measurement and control of dyeing, plasma textiles for nanoparticle filtration, and writing Linux device drivers which can be found at https://github.com/wjasper/Linux_Drivers. In 2014 he was the recipient of a Fulbright grant in engineering education to promote study abroad for undergraduate textile engineers. Sponsor TriLUG Members Like YOU! Thank you!

If you are a beginner just getting started, or have a project well underway you want to tinker with, all are welcome. The setting is informal and there is no set schedule, so folks are welcome to come at any point during the evening. It's an informal time to code and chat, with a brief break at about 7PM when we introduce ourselves and what we are working on. Hope to see you there! Thanks, as always, to Caktus for providing the meeting space and pizza. Details: When: Monday, October 21, 6-9pm Where: Caktus Group Tech Space, 108 Morris St., Durham What: Join us for our monthly project night to tinker, discuss all things Python. If you don't have something specific you are working on, that's fine. If you just need help getting started with Python, bring your laptop and we will help. If you are a veteran programmer, come on by for code and pizza. It's an informal meetup where people work on projects, talk about programming, and give and receive tips on all things Python.
