Here's what's happening in the coming week 18th - 24th July

Daytime monthly meeting

Our first "daytime monthly"​​​​​​​ is @Moorabbin on Monday 21/7 at 1pm. This is an initiative to try and break the Zoom Effect, so it will be in person only. It is intended as a more social event that the traditional monthly meeting, so no MC, no Prez' Report. Bring a plate of something shareable (unless you have a dietary restriction).

Be there or be square!  🙂

 

Microcontroller Discovery Workshop

I will be running another microcontroller discovery workshop next Friday. The topic will be "Motorin' along" - discovering some of the small motors most often used in robotics type projects.
