Live Webcast Arduino for Ham Radio
Please join us for a special webcast featuring our special guest, Glen Popiel, KW5GP, author of the newly released ARRL publication, Arduino for Ham Radiohttps://www.arrl.org/shop/Arduino-for-Ham-Radio/. This event will be webcast from W5KUB’s personal ham shack on Thursday, October 30th at 8:00 PM CT (0100 UTC). Arduino devices are powerful and inexpensive microcontrollers, and they are an easy way for ham radio operators, students, and professionals to create devices that interact with their environment using sensors and actuators. Glen will discuss Arduino and its many applications. Glen will show and demonstrate projects from his book. He may even bring some surprise projects not in the book. Glen’s projects include:
Random Code Practice Generator
Talking GPS/UTC Time/Grid Square Indicator
CW Beacon and Foxhunt Keyer
Iambic Keyer
Fan Speed Controller
Waveform Generator
Digital Compass
PS/2 CW Keyboard
Weather Station
Field Day Satellite Tracker
RF Probe with LED Bar Graph
Azimuth/Elevation Rotator Controller
Solar Battery Charger Monitor
CW Decoder
On-Air Indicator
Lightning Detector
Talking SWR Meter
CDE/Hy-Gain Rotator Controllers
