If you register for the Mid-Atlantic States VHF Conference by September 1 and
indicate that you will attend the Friday seminar on station automation, you
will receive special materials that will only be available to you. Due to the
printing and ordering of these materials, they will be limited to those *early*
earlybirds.
The seminar is intended to be an in depth introduction to modern software and
computer-based methods of station automation. It will include detailed
discussions and examples of the use of MCUs (microcontroller units) and SBCs
(single board computers) such as the Arduino, Beaglebone Black, Parallax
Propeller, and Parallax Basic Stamp for station control. The Beaglebone Black
is similar to the Raspberry Pi, but more powerful. Examples of the code used
to program the Beaglebone Black, the Arduino, the Parallax Propeller, and the
Parallax Basic Stamp for various station control purposes will be presented and
discussed. By the end of the seminar it is anticipated that attendees will be
ready to begin using these devices for station control activities in their
amateur stations.
Only those who have registered for the Conference by Friday September 1 are
guaranteed to receive a handout at the seminar. Having a handout
will be important to getting the full value of the conference. Handouts will
be distributed at the beginning of the seminar to those who have
indicated by September 1st that they plan to attend the seminar. In addition,
Roger W3SZ will forward to those expressing their intention to attend the
seminar electronic copies of the handouts as well as other materials a week or
more in advance of the session, so the attendees have a chance to examine these
materials before the seminar if they so desire. These pre-conference materials
will be available only to those who have already registered for the Conference.
