General Meeting 2013-12-10: Pi to Game Console Tool-Assisted Speedruns

by Allan Cecil

Start: 2013-12-10 7:30 pm End: 2013-06-11 ~9:00 pm Speaker: Allan Cecil Location: O'Reilly Media Description: A Raspberry Pi, connected to a custom PCB with a PIC microcontroller, connected to... a game console's controller port? In this presentation, Allan will talk about the Tool-Assisted Speedrun community from http://tasvideos.org, game console emulators in Linux, Raspberry Pi GPIO serial interface capabilities, PCB design, reverse-engineering, and how a TAS can be an artform. There will be plenty of technical details but the presentation should be enjoyable by all, with demonstrations of games being played perfectly using tools to overcome the limitations of human reflexes and a finale of taking complete control of an unmodified Super Nintendo using only the controller input.

by jezra

Start: 2013-11-12 - 7:30pm End: 2013-11-12 - 9:00pm Location: O'Reilly Media The meeting will begin with the yearly election of members of the NBLUG Board of Directors. Following the election, Kyle Rankin will be presenting "Practical 3D printing and the Open Source Community" Your average geek has probably heard of 3D printers but may not know about all of the Open Source underpinnings that have made the 3D printing boom possible. In this talk Kyle will discuss the similarities between the history of hobbyist 3D printers and the history of some popular Linux distributions. He will then talk about some of the 3D printers available today and help you justify buying your own 3D printer with examples of useful things you can print for around the house. See you there!
