Robertson* *5:30pm - 8:30pm* The group will look at a relatively new software program called Vector Vest which purports to help with stock picking, market timing and investing in a manner that reduces risk. Some "Dividend Stocks" will also be discussed so bring the name and code of any stocks you wish to review to the meeting. *Tuesday 14 February - Programming - N. Hoffman - 5:30pm - 8:30pm* At the January meeting Martin demonstrated a clamping ammeter he bought from Seeed Studios. He uses a microprocessor to calculate and display the power consumption. John showed an open source debugger for Freescale microcontrollers. Christopher told us of a USB to RS232/TTL UART/RS485 converter he bought. It provides an easy method of connecting a USB port on a PC to RS232 signals. Steve showed us oscilloscope traces of a spurious signal on his project and described how he eliminated it. Anthony told us of his experiences in first trying to make a PCB. At the next meeting next Tuesday the group will see some new microprocessor applications and programming examples. *Saturday 18 February - Web Design - R. Hume - 1:30pm - 4:30pm* The group will meet again next week to plan and design some pages for their web site. There will also be a question and answer session at the meeting at which members can discuss any problems they may have encountered during the month. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Visitors are always welcome at all of the Club's meetings.
