<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">Folks,<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">At the last meeting we were
talking about projects for our "build night" at the end of
May.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">If you're interested in the
Raspberry Pi, it's an inexpensive, full-fledged computer about the size of a
pack of cigarettes. You can purchase a $75 kit on Amazon that includes
everything you need to get started. See <A
href="http://www.amazon.com/CanaKit-Raspberry-Complete-Starter-Kit/dp/B01C6Q2GSY/">http://www.amazon.com/CanaKit-Raspberry-Complete-Starter-Kit/dp/B01C6Q2GSY/</A>
<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">The kit comes with a memory card
that contains the operating system (a type of Linux), as well as a case and
power adapter. The Pi 3 has 4 USB ports (so you can easily connect a
keyboard and mouse), an HDMI port (you can plug it into a TV or computer
monitor) a network port and built-in wireless ethernet. No tools or
soldering is needed to put it together, by the way.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">So what can you do with a
Raspberry Pi? For one thing, you can run a web browser or email client on
it, or even use it as a web server. For Ham Radio, people are using
it for digital modes using the FLDIGI application. If you're into Arduino
microcontrollers, the Pi can run the development environment. For other
ideas, see <A
href="https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=%22raspberry%20pi%203%22%20ham%20radio">this
search</A>.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">Changing the subject somewhat,
another neat project is a transistor tester, which costs about $25 including
case. I've built this, and it's a handy little device that tests
transistors, resistors, capacitors, diodes, etc. The build is
fairly easy, but does require a bit of soldering. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">We can have other projects for
Build Night - if you have one, please share it with the group! That way
everyone can pick what they are interested in and do it, with (hopefully) some
expert help in the room. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">Builders - you will need to decide
on, and purchase your kit of choice prior to build night, which I believe we
have scheduled for Wednesday, May 25.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
