I have a half dozen Raspberry PIs that would work.  I have a few RPi zeros too.

I brought in a lot of stuff that day. Bags and bags.

Do we need 6 monitors?

I have 6 keyboards.

Several SD cards.

Many cables and chargers.

Network wifi router, ethernet cable.

Hi Bob, Although I am interested & intrigued by the Pi for its power and versatility, I am not presently a Pi user, and am not quite ready to purchase (still evaluating for my own use). For the March (I believe) meeting, Gib was presenter and had a number of Pi modules which he loaned out to everyone for the purpose of the meeting. I see in the MDLUG home page a reference to using Pi for embedded applications. I think the Pi would serve well for an application I have in mind (which can also be (and is) served by a web page), but to go with h/w route, I would be looking at the ability to service a 16ms interrupt (i.e. power-line) for timing purposes. Can the Pi handle that? Yes, I can bring an ethernet cable and a 120v-USB power adapter; but should I bother coming to this meeting, since I don't have a Pi (yet)? Thanks, Rich Hall
