  • We had a new member, Joe Teakell, stop by. He is going to being his computer in next time for inspection and testing.


  • James brought in the book "Controlling with Computers" by John Billingsley.

Here is the book. It's about controlling industrial systems I think.

The book was surprisingly notable because of its use of Commodore computers and BASIC.

The end of the preface mentions as much, but the rest of the book was littered with BASIC type in source.


  • Carlos brought in his new Oscilloscope as well as a serial logic tester to show off.
  • We spent quite a bit of time testing and playing around with the first revision of the WiFi modem. Check the front page under Projects for more information on this.
  • We sat around discussing Amiga computers and enjoying some "Root" Beer and chocolate cinnamon rolls.
