MMMM
Monthly Monday Microcontroller Madness
Beginning in September of 2011, Hive76 will start hosting monthly workshops based around the general field of microcontrollers, or MCUs. The workshops will be held in a loose format allowing the greatest freedom in topics covered. A typical workshop will include a detailed introduction to basic MCU concepts, project demonstrations, and collaborative work time.
