Subject: [Lvlug] cheap Wii nunchucks
Message-ID: <33ed7c531002100605g2e861a44sf4c67d4bc70260e@mail.gmail.com>

Anybody still doing any Arduino tinkering? Today's kids.woot.com item
is a 2 pack of Intec Wii nunchuck controllers for $15 shipped. I've
wanted to play with one of these for a while now, but at $20 each I'd
have felt bad if I let the smoke out.

They use I2C, which the Arduino can read using the "Wire" library. And
Tod Kurt has a small nunchuck library to make things easier.

This month's meeting start time has been changed to 1:00 PM. Curt from the
Cyber Station Cafe asked to move it up because he has a LAN party starting
at 3:00. See you on Saturday.

Greetings, all!

I'm a newcomer who showed up last month and plan to come back tomorrow.
I'm pretty new to the area (in Easton a year and change), but not new to
GNU/Linux (experience administering/running for 10+ years).

I'd like to share my knowledge and learn new things from others!  Who's
been playing with embedded devices?  Got any recent projects to show off
or explain?  Bring your toys/tools/prototypes and some good ideas!

My main work in Linux has involved lots of mainstream Internet server
daemons (such as for DHCP, DNS, mail, web, RDBMS).  My current project
is to find a new VPS (virtual private server) hosting company for my
fairly small server, trying to compare things like Xen vs. OpenVZ,
64-bit vs. 32-bit, and maybe a new distro (probably Arch).  I'll be
happy to share what I've figured out (and hopefully get some feedback)
if we run out of toys to play with. ;-)

I look forward to meeting more of you tomorrow!

Matt
