Over the Christmas break HLB has been working on a few things of interest to our community. We have members with varying skill levels and interests. We do not consider ourselves expert in any area but are keen to know more about the technology and to learn from and to teach others the fun things that you can do in your own home lab.
As such we have come up with an interim list of possible topics for the meetings and workshops for the year ahead. They are not in any particular order.
