Brendan Kidwell will present the Raspberry Pi tiny computer and talk about some of the things you can do with it. Brendan will explain how to install the RetroPie video game system emulator suite (which also works on your PC or laptop) and give a demo of the system running on his living room TV.


At least half an hour before the meeting, please email David Metzger ( dbmetzger@yahoo.com ) and Brendan Kidwell ( brendan@glump.net ) to request joining the NYACC meeting. One of them will send you instructions to join our Zoom meeting from desktop computer, laptop, mobile device, or from a phone call. PLEASE REMEMBER TO MUTE YOUR MICROPHONE WHEN YOU ARE NOT SPEAKING.

The New York Amateur Computer Club was established in March 1975 with the mission to further education in diverse areas of personal computing. The presentations at monthly meetings cover various platform computing systems and range from in-depth technical subjects to general overviews with broad appeal.

General meetings are always held on the second Thursday of each month and start promptly at 7 PM with announcements followed by a period of Questions and Answers called Random Access in which members and visitors are encouraged to ask technical questions or ask for advice on purchasing or using software, hardware, and related issues. There is a short break before the main presentation to enable attendees to meet and greet each other and to buttonhole people to get more detailed answers to specific questions.

The general meetings are open without charge to the public.

Time:
Aug. 13, 2020, 7 p.m. - Aug. 13, 2020, 9 p.m.
