RC Airshow June 5, 6
From Tim H...
As mentioned at the meeting last night, my model airplane club will
have a charity airshow on June 5 and 6. We have about 15 invited
pilots from around the country that have won many championships in
various categories of RC flying.
As of the moment, we will have several aerobatic demos with aircraft
wingspans exceeding 10 feet. We have one turbine powered jet that has
a true speed of 199 mph (not scale but actual radar detector speed).
We expect to have a national champion aerobatic helicopter and a
turbine powered helicopter. Also we will have a candy drop for the
kids and an egg drop for teens and adults. (Wear an old shirt for this
one.)
Details:
When: Saturday and Sunday, June 5 and 6 11 am to 5 pm. (Saturday is
the best day b/c out of towners leave early on Sunday)
Where: Tom Sawyer Park. 1/2 mile south of Westport on Hurstbourne
Parkway.
Cost: suggested donation is $3 per person (Hundred dollar bills are
welcome) All proceeds go to Kosair Charities.

Fox In The Moring News will broadcasting live on Friday from 5 am to 9
am.
Freeduino Spring training materials
I have put the materials on line for the Freeduino Spring Training class if you want to take a look. In these lessons you will find sample circuits for most of the things you might want to do with your Freeduino/Arduino. All of the code examples work and are debugged. Enjoy!

Freeduino Spring Training Workshop
LVL1 is proud to announce it's latest class- the Freeduino Spring Training Workshop. Time and place is May 18, 2010 from 7-10 pm at the U of L Speed School Room 210. This workshop will help you learn the skills to be able to play with that shiny Arduino or Freeduino that you have been dying to figure out! Our coaches will step you through building several fun circuits that demonstrate how to interface your Arduino with LED's, LCD's, switches, sensors, potentiometers, motors and sound. After taking this class, you should be able to breadboard a circuit and then program your Arduino. We know this class will be a GRAND SLAM!
The cost of the workshop is $50 ($80 if you need a Freeduino). Besides the world class instruction, you will get your very own breadboard, several LED's (even a tri-colored one), a cool blue LCD display, a temperature sensor, a photo sensor, several switches, many resistors (with brightly colored bands!), a few potentiometers, a motor and a speaker... everything you need to batter up!
OK, enough with the cheezy baseball references. This highly requested workshop will be just what you need to get started learning electronics, bit-banging, embedded computer interfacing and programming. It is sure to be a h.. good time.
