The TriLUG (Triangle Linux User Group) meeting this week (Thursday) looks interesting for many of the TriEmbed group as it will be covering Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and a PDP-8 replica (probably the PDP-8 emulation on a Raspberry Pi, but not certain).
You can see the full description here and register to attend (you can go even if you don't register). It is held on Centennial Campus at the Textiles building. https://www.meetup.com/trilug/events/zmzvnqyzjbrb/?rv=ea2_v2&_xtd=gatlbWFpbF9jbGlja9oAJDVhN2JjY2Y4LWY4MzYtNDJhZC04ODQxLWU2ZGQ1ZWI2NzQ1Yw Here is a summary of the presentation copied from that page: "On the sorry state of modern programming languages and other rants, with some surprises." by Mark Sidell I begin by explaining why I hate all modern programming languages, explore alternative, and then declare that PDP-8 assembly is really the best choice. Next, I briefly explore the PDP-8 instruction set, but switch gears to what every programmer really wants to do -- make lights blink. I demo blinkenlights on the raspberry pi, arduino, and finally on a replica of a PDP-8. Of course, the only thing the audience knows at the beginning is the title of the talk.
