Third Robotics meeting of the semester (November 5th, 2012, Monday, 4pm to ~6pm @ SEO 1325)

Motor Driver Circuit meeting this Monday (11/5/12) at SEO 1325, we will be talking about generating the correct signals for the Mosfets and bjts. Also there will be a quick intro to Bipolar Junction Transistors and Mosfets. If time permits we will be moving towards importing schematics to Ultiboard to define the board layout.

Everyone is welcome!

Second Robotics meeting of the semester (October 18th, 2012, Thursday, 4pm to ~6pm @ SEO 1308)

This meeting will be on motor drivers. Specifically prototyping the logic and introduction to Multisim. Location will be specified in a little bit. Please bring breadboards, breadboard wires and 7408(And gate) and 7404(not gate), 4 leds, (4) 220 Ohm resistors, and (2) 10K resistors if you have them.

Everyone is welcome!

Programming a Robotic Car - one of FREE CS Courses at udacity.com
Here is an email I received recently that I would like to share:

"Beginning April 16, Udacity will be offering four new courses, in addition to re-offering CS101: Building a Search Engine and CS373: Programming a Robotic Car. We are excited to have phenomenal instructors teaching these courses. Read through the descriptions below and enroll today!

All classes are available for enrollment at http://www.udacity.com

CS212: The Design of Computer Programs
Peter Norvig will help students develop good taste as programmers by learning how to identify elegant solutions to problems.
CS253: Web Application Engineering
Taught by Reddit.com and Hipmunk.com co-founder Steve Huffman, this course will cover the things he wish he would have known when starting his websites while he teaches students to build a blog.
CS262: Programming Languages
Wes Weimer, Professor at the University of Virginia, will teach students about programming languages in the context of building a web browser. Students will learn to understand HTML and javascript from the inside out by writing a program that understands them.
CS387: Applied Cryptography
Udacity Professor David Evans will teach students the mathematical foundations behind cryptography and see how it is used to solve problems in computing. It's all about making and breaking puzzles!

All 200-level classes are good follow-ups to CS101 or the equivalent. CS387 requires some additional math background, but does not expect any programming beyond CS101.

See you in class!

Thank you,
Udacity"
