The New Noticeboard

We are testing out a new way of handling the noticeboard: managing it as a blog. If you use an RSS or Atom newsreader, you can now use it to read the noticeboard.

Arduino User Group

Ian Sexton, Principle Lecturer in Computer Technology, is considering launching an Arduino User Group at DMU. "The idea being that we arrange a regular slot in a lab that has good facilities, test equipment, a variety of shields, etc & have fun! There are people in other departments interested in this & I'm sure it would be good if we can get it going.Some of my students are exceptional programmers & it would be great for them to link up with students who approach things from another direction! Let me know if you're interested in something like this & I'll see what can be done." If interested, you can email Dr Sexton at sexton@dmu.ac.uk.
