Michael Hitchens will follow up his LMMS presentation with another music-related project: the music composition software MuseScore.

Jason Eckert will demystify containerization and orchestration for us. Docker, Kubernetes, Swarms, Rancher... what are these tools used for? Why are they useful? How do they fit together? How has the industry evolved over the past seven years? Jason will answer these questions and more.

Arduino Projects, Text Formats

Meeting Date

2021-06-07T19:00:00

This meeting will be held on BigBlueButton: https://webconference.kwlug.org/room/kwlug .

Brent Clements will demonstrate a few "real world" uses for inexpensive Arduino  controllers. He will start with a crash course on what they are and how to work with them. Next he will demonstrate how to control simple lights and other devices with simple programs, as well as discuss a couple of ways he has used Arduinos in the past.
