*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 Radio <https://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
